Answer:
(-13, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
It is about as easy to try the solutions as it is to find them from scratch.
__
However, we can determine which one it is by adding twice the second equation to the first.
(-2a +3b) +2(a -4b) = (14) +2(3)
-5b = 20
b = -4 . . . . . . matches the first choice
The first equation, 8x - 9y = - 23
Obtain the equation in slope- intercept form
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
to calculate m use the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = ( , 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 1 )
m = = (- 4)/-
=
partial equation is y = x + c
to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
using (- 4, - 1 ), then
- 1 = - + c ⇒ c =
y = x +
← in slope- intercept form
the equation of a line in standard form is
Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )
rearrange the slope- intercept equation into this form
multiply through by 9
9y = 8x + 23 ( subtract 9y and 23 from both sides )
8x - 9y = - 23 in standard form
Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
ssubstitute a and b for any of the numbers (3 or 6) and get 36+9 which is 45
45 =
so you would need to find the square root to get c
