The answer is (0,3)
Hope this helps you
The answer is actually choice A
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
If we add up the equations straight down we will have 0a+2b = 6
Note how adding the 'a' terms gives us 3a + (-3a) = 3a-3a = 0a. The 0a term is really 0 since 0 times anything is 0. So the 'a' terms will go away
The equation 0a+2b = 6 turns into 0+2b = 6 and that simplifies to 2b = 6
To isolate b, we divide both sides by 2
2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b = 3
We can stop here since only one answer choice has b = 3, which is choice A. However, let's keep going to find the value of 'a'
Plug b = 3 into any equation with 'a' and 'b', then solve for 'a'
3a+4b = 9
3a+4*3 = 9
3a+12 = 9
3a+12-12 = 9-12
3a = -3
3a/3 = -3/3
a = -1
So a = -1 and b = 3 pair up to form (a,b) = (-1,3)
--------------------------------------
To check, plug this ordered pair back into both equations
Equation 1:
3a+4b = 9
3*(-1)+4*3 = 9
-3+12 = 9
9 = 9
Equation 1 has been checked out
Equation 2:
-3a-2b = -3
-3(-1)-2(3) = -3
3 - 6 = -3
-3 = -3
this is true as well
So this confirms that the final answer is choice A
To construct the equations for these lines, we are going to use the point-slope formula, which is:
is the slope of the line
is a point on the line
1)
In this case, our point is (2, -1) and our line has a slope of 5. (Remember that the line is parallel, meaning that it has the same slope as the given line. Since the line is in the y = mx + b format, we could easily pick out the slope m as being 5.)
Thus, we can "plug in" what we know into our formula to find the equation of our line:
2)
We are going to do the same thing, except our point is now (0, -5) and our slope is now 9.
Our equations are:
1) y = 5x - 11
2) y = 9x - 5
