Answer:

BC = 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points:

A = (2, -2)
B = (-4, -4)
C = (-4, -1)
D = (-2, 3)
E = (1, 3)
F = (2, 5)

Plot the points on the coordinate plane (x, y) and connect them in alphabetical order with straight lines (see attached).

From visual inspection of the drawn polygon, we can see that the length of BC is 3 units.

It is fairly simple to calculate the length of BC without plotting the points.

As points B and C have the same x-value, this means that the distance between them is simply the difference between their y-values.

⇒ distance = |-4 - (-1)| = |-3| = 3 units

Solve the system: 2/x - 3/y =-5; 4/x + 6\y =14

sertanlavr [38]

The solution is $x = 2 \text{ and } y = \frac{1}{2}$

Solution:

Let us assume,

$a = \frac{1}{x}\\\\b = \frac{1}{y}$

Given system of equations are:

$\frac{2}{x} - \frac{3}{y} = -5$

$\frac{4}{x} + \frac{6}{y} = 14$

Rewrite the equation using "a" and "b"

2a - 3b = -5 ------------ eqn 1

4a + 6b = 14 -------------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Multiply eqn 1 by 2

2(2a - 3b = -5)

4a - 6b = -10 ------------- eqn 3

Add eqn 2 and eqn 3

4a + 6b = 14

4a - 6b = -10

( - ) --------------------

8a = 4

$a = \frac{4}{8}\\\\a = \frac{1}{2}$

Substitute a = 1/2 in eqn 1

$2(\frac{1}{2}) -3b = -5\\\\1 - 3b = -5\\\\3b = 6\\\\b = 2$

Now let us go back to our assumed values

Substitute a = 1/2 in assumed values

$a = \frac{1}{x}\\\\\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{x}\\\\x = 2$

Substitute b = 2 in assumed value

$b = \frac{1}{y}\\\\2 = \frac{1}{y}\\\\y = \frac{1}{2}$

Thus the solution is $x = 2 \text{ and } y = \frac{1}{2}$
