D. (2,3)
Explanation:
We already know that x=2, so of we plug in 2 for x, we should get the y value.
Once we plug in 2 for x we should get the equation:
2(2)+3y=13.
Simplify that and we get:
4+3y=13.
Subtract 4 from both sides and we get:
3y=9.
Divide both sides by 3 and we get:
y=3.
This means that your ordered pair should be (2,3).
Hope this helps :)
3x+5y=9 3x+5y=9
-1(3x+2y=3) -3x-2y=-3
3y=6
y=2
3x+5(2)=9
3x+10=9
-10 -10
3x=-1
x=-1/3 (-1/3,2)
The slope of AC is -0.4
Proof:
In triangles ABC and DBE,
∠DBE is common to both triangles.
AB = 2DB (D is the midpoint of the interval AB)
Also, BC = 2BE (E is the midpoint of the interval BC)
Thus triangles ABC and DBE are similar in the ratio 2:1
Since, they are similar, ∠BDE must equal ∠BAC (corresponding angles in similar triangles)
If ∠BDE = ∠BAC, DE must be parallel to AC (corresponding angles are equal along parallel lines)
Thus, the slope of AC = the slope of DE
Thus, the slope of AC is -0.4
