Y = (2/3).x - 6. If y=0, then 0= (2/3).x - 6. Solve for x:
2x/3 - 6 = 0
Same denominator:
(2x - 18)/3 = 0
2x - 18 = 0
2x = 18 and x = 9 (x-coordinate)
Answer: x = (-3,3), y = (-5,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Add both of the equations together, for
. Now we can divide both sides by 3, getting
. we subtract the first equation from our equation we just got, getting
y= (5,-5). once we plug that in, we get
,
x = (-3,3)
Take -5x + y =13 and rearrange for y:
y=13+5x
Substitute into other equation for y:
-3x+3(13+5x)=3
Multiply out brackets:
-3x+39+15x=3
Simplify:
12x+39=3
Rearrange for x:
12x=-36
x=-3
Substitute back into y=13+5x:
y=13+5(-3)
y=13-15
y=-2
To find perimeter you add up all the sides so 5cm+6cm+17cm+8cm. This will get you 36cm.
