2 answers:
Answer:
(x, y) = (-6, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
A system of equations is easily solved using a graphing calculator. The attached shows the solution to be ...
(x, y) = (-6, 0)
__
The first equation gives a convenient expression for substituting for x in the second equation:
-3(-2y -6) -7y = 18
18 -y = 18 . . . . . . . . simplify
y = 0 . . . . . . . . add y-18
x = -2(0) -6 = -6
The solution by substitution is (x, y) = (-6, 0).

Answer:
BM: <u>y = (2/3) x + 16/3</u> with segment length of 2.77
Step-by-step explanation:
AC formula: m = (6-0)/(0-4) = -3/2
(y-0)/(x-4) = -3/2 y = (-3/2)x + 6 ... (1)
BM slope: BM⊥ AC m = 2/3
BM formula: (y-4) / (x- -2) = (y-4) / (x+2) = 2/3
y-4 = 2/3 x + 4/3
<u>y = (2/3) x + 16/3</u> ... (2) -2≤x≤0.31
intercept of AC and BM (M) from (1) and (2): (-3/2)x + 6 = (2/3) x + 16/3
(13/6) x = 2/3 x = (2/3) / (13/6) = 4/13 ≈ 0.31
y = (2/3) (4/13) + (16/3) = (8/39) + (208/39) = 216/39 = 72/13 ≈ 5.54
M (4/13 , 72/13) or (0.31 , 5.54)
segment BM = √(4/13 - -2)² + (72/13 - 4)² = √1300/169 = 2.77
