I think the answer is 3,-7
6(x +y) -(a +b) = 6(-5) -(-5)
= -25
Answer:
The slope is 5/-2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is y1-y2 over m1-m2 (rise over run). The first ordered pair is -2 (m1) and 11 (y1). We then subtract the second ordered pair (4 (m2) and -4 (y2)) from the first.
11 - (-4) = 11 + 4 = 15
-2 - 4 = -6
Remember, slope is rise over run (y over x), so the slope is 15/-6. Now, we must simplify. 15/-6 = 5/-2
Dean went wrong because he thought that slope was run over rise (x over y). If he had switched the two numbers, his answer would have been correct.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- 6x = 5x + 222
- 222 = 5x + 6x
11x = - 222
x = - 222 : 11
x = - 222/11
Answer:
{x,y} = {3,-2}
Step-by-step explanation:
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] y = 2x - 8
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [2]
[2] 3x - 2•(2x-8) = 13
[2] -x = -3
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] x = 3
// By now we know this much :
x = 3
y = 2x-8
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = 2(3)-8 = -2
Solution :
{x,y} = {3,-2}
