Answer: (-3,5)

Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Set 1 equation equal to y

3y-2x=21

3y=2x+21

y=2/3x+7

2. Set the other equation equal to y

4y+5x=5

4y=-5x+5

y=-5/4x+5/4

3. Set the equations equal to each other, and solve for x

2/3x+7=-5/4x+5/4

2/3x+23/4=-5/4x

(Multiply by 12 on both sides to get rid of fractions)

8x+69=-15x

8x=-15x-69

23x=-69

x=-3

4. Solve for y

(Choose any of the equations)

y=2/3x+7

y=2/3(-3)+7

y=-2+7

y=5

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the given segment and that passes through the point (-3,0).

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

A straight line is passing through two points (0, 2) and (3, 1).

Slope of this line ( $m_1$ ) = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

= $\frac{2-1}{0-3}$

= $-\frac{1}{3}$

Let the slope of a parallel to the line given in the graph = $m_2$

By the property of parallel lines,

$m_1=m_2$

$m_2=-\frac{1}{3}$

Equation of a line passing through a point (x', y') and slope 'm' is,

y - y' = m(x - x')

Therefore, equation of the parallel line which passes through (-3, 0) and having slope = $-\frac{1}{3}$ will be,

$y-0=-\frac{1}{3}(x+3)$

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x-1$

Option (B). will be the answer.

9 – 2k = 25 what is k

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

k = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 9 from both sides to get the constants on one side and the variables on the other

9 - 2k = 25

- 2k = 25 - 9

Simplify

- 2k = 16

Divide by -2 on both sides to isolate the variable, then simplify once more.

- 2k/ -2 = 16/ -2

k = 16/ -2

k = -8
