Answer:

Son's Age: 11

Mary's Age: 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let set Mary and her son as variables,

M = Mary's age

S = Mary's son age

Breakdown:

"Mary is three times as old as her son"

M = 3S

"In 12 years, Mary's age will be one less than twice her son's age"

M + 12 = 2(S + 12) - 1

we add 12 to both sides as it will be in 12 years for both

We know that M = 3S, so we plug this in

3S + 12 = 2(S + 12) - 1

Now solve for S (son's age),

3S + 12 - 12 = 2(S + 12) - 1 - 12

3S = 2(S + 12) - 13

3S = 2S + 24 - 13

3S - 2S = 2S - 2S + 24 - 13

S = 24 - 13

S = 11

To find Mary age, plug in her son age ,

M = 3S

M = 3(11)

M = 33

Find slope and y-intercept 5x+3y=-6

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

$m=-\frac53; q=-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's bring the line in the classical $y=mx+q$ form

$3y= -5x-6\\y=-\frac53 x -2$

At this point we have the two values $-\frac53$ for the slope and $2$ for the intercept

line m contains the points -3,4 and 1,0. write the equation of a line that would be perpendicular to this one and pass through t

castortr0y [4]

The equation of line perpendicular to line containing points (-3, 4) and (1, 0) and passes through (-2, 6) in point slope form is y = x + 8

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that line m contains points (-3, 4) and (1, 0)

We are asked to find the equation of line perpendicular to line containing points (-3, 4) and (1, 0) and passes through (-2, 6)

Let us first find slope of the line "m"

Given two points are (-3, 4) and (1, 0)

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)=(-3,4) \text { and }\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)=(1,0)$

$m=\frac{0-4}{1-(-3)}=-1$

Thus slope of line m is -1

We know that product of slope of given line and perpendicular line are always -1

So, we get

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { slope of line } m \times \text { slope of perpendicular line }=-1} \\\\ {-1 \times \text { slope of perpendicular line }=-1} \\\\ {\text { slope of perpendicular line }=1}\end{array}$

So we have got the slope of perpendicular line is 1 and it passes through (-2, 6)

Let us use the point slope form to find the required equation

The point slope form is given as:

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

$(x_1, y_1) = (-2, 6)$ and m = 1

y - 6 = 1(x - (-2))

y - 6 = x + 2

y = x + 8

Thus equation of required line in point slope form is y = x + 8
