Answer:
- x² = y + 16
- 4y - 1 = 7x
- (5, 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Writing equations from words is mostly a matter of understanding what the English words mean.
If the first number is x, then the square of the first number is x². That is said to be equal to the sum of the second number (y) and 16:
x² = y + 16 . . . . the first equation
The wording "the difference of A and B" is usually intended to be interpreted to mean A-B. Here, we have the difference of 4 times the second number (4y) and 1, so ...
4y -1
This is equal to the first number (x) multiplied by 7, so ...
4y -1 = 7x . . . . the second equation

These can be solved a variety of ways. When no method is specified, I like to use a graphing calculator. It shows the only integer solution for this pair of equations is ...
(x, y) = (5, 9)
The parabola's vertex would not be on the x-axis or y-axis and there would be no x-intercepts.
What do we know about those two lines?
They are perpendicular, meaning they have the same slope.
We know the slope of both is not zero (neither is vertical).
Therefore either
1) Both slopes are positive and therefore the product is positive
2) Both slopes are negative and therefore the product is positive (minus by a minus is a plus)
For the y intercepts, we know that the line P passes through the origin.
Therefore its Y intercept is zero.
[draw it if this is not obvious and ask where does it cross the y axis]
Therefore the Y intercept of line K and line P is zero.
[anything multiplied by a zero is a zero]
So we know that the product of slopes is positive, and we know that the product of Y intercepts is zero.
So the product of slopes must be greater.
Answer A
Answer: 17 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation: Area of a triangle is 1/2 x b x h. We can just take the area of half of the whole triangle, and double it. In this case, half of the triangle has an area of 1/2 x 3.4 x 5 = 8.5. Doubling it is the same is doing 8.5 x 2, which equals 17.
Answer:
<2 ≅<4 with reason of vertical angle theorem.
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertical angle theorem states that two opposite (non-adjacent) angles formed by 2 intersecting lines have equal measure. In this problem, we are given that the angles are vertical angles. So the statement is that <2 ≅<4 with reason of vertical angle theorem.
