Answer:

(- 6, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 2y = - 18 → (1)

2x + 9y = - 12 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 2 and (2) by - 3 and adding will eliminate the term in x, that is

6x + 4y = - 36 → (3)

- 6x - 27y = 36 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x

- 23y = 0

y = 0

Substitute y = 0 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for x

Substituting into (1)

3x + 0 = - 18

3x = - 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 6

Solution is (- 6, 0 )

Choose the equation of the vertical line passing through point (1,-1)

astraxan [27]

If the line is vertical, then all of the point on the line have the same x-coordinate. In this case the x-coordinate is 1, so x=1.

using the distance formula d=√(x2- x1)^2 +(y2-y^1, what is the distance between point (-3,1) and point (-2,4) rounded to the nea

defon

Answer:

$d = \sqrt{(x2 - x1) + (y2 - y1)} \\ d = \sqrt{ (- 3 + 2) + (1 + - 4)} \\ d = \sqrt{ - 1 + - 3 } \\ d = \sqrt{ - 4 } \\ d = - 2$
