The slope would be positive in this case
Answer:
x = 2, y = -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 5y = 9
3x + 4y = 2
Multiply first equation by -3 and the second by 2:
-6x + 15y = -27
6x + 8y = 4 Adding the 2 equations:
23y = -23
y = -1.
Now substitute this value for y in the first equation:
2x - 5(-1) = 9
2x = 9 +5(-1)
2x = 9 - 5
2x = 4
x = 2.
If 12 is shaded out of 18 then the fraction is 12/18. We then need to simplify it to get 2/3.
The answer is D) 2/3
