y = -3x + 7 is the equation of a line passing through (2, 1) that is parallel to the line passing through (-1,2) and (0, -1)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, we have to write the equation of a line passing through (2, 1) that is parallel to the line passing through (-1,2) and (0, -1)

Find the slope of line

<em><u>The slope of line is given by formula:</u></em>

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Here given that line is parallel to the line passing through (-1, 2) and (0, -1)

Therefore,

(x_1, y_1) = (-1, 2)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (0, -1)

Substituting the values we get,

m = \frac{-1-2}{0-(-1)}\\\\m = \frac{-3}{1}\\\\m = -3

Thus slope of line is -3

We know that, slopes of parallel lines are equal

Therefore, slope of line parallel to the line passing through (-1,2) and (0, -1) is also -3

Now find the equation of line with slope -3 and passing through (2, 1)

<em><u>The equation of line in slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + c ------ eqn 1

Where, "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y intercept

<em><u>Substitute m = -3 and (x, y) = (2, 1) in eqn 1</u></em>

1 = -3(2) + c

1 = -6 + c

c = 7

<em><u>Substitute m = -3 and c = 7 in eqn 1</u></em>

y = -3x + 7

Thus the equation of line is found

The solution for the following system of equations is shown on the graph. What is the solution?
Bingel [31]

The solution is (3 , 4) ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations can be solved by:

  • Elimination method
  • Substitution method

The system of equations is:

y = 3 x - 5 ⇒ (1)

y = \frac{1}{3} x + 3 ⇒ (2)

By using the substitution method substitute y in equation (2) by equation (1)

3 x - 5 =  \frac{1}{3} x + 3

Subtract  \frac{1}{3} x from both sides

\frac{8}{3} x = 8

Divide both sides by \frac{8}{3}

x = 3

substitute x by 3 in equation (1)

y = 3(3) - 5

y = 9 - 5

y = 4

The solution is (3 , 4)

Determine which of the indicated column vectors are eigenvectors of the given matrix
gladu [14]
]Eigenvectors are found by the equation (A-\lambda I) \vec{v} = 0$ implying that \det(A-\lambda I) = 0. We then can write:

A-\lambda I = \left [ \begin{array}{cc} 4-\lambda & 2 \\ 5 & 1-\lambda \end{array}\right ] 

And:

\det(A-\lambda I) = (4-\lambda)(1-\lambda) - 10 = 0 

Gives us the characteristic polynomial:

\lambda^2 - 5 \lambda -6 = 0 \implies \lambda_1 = -1, \lambda_2 = 6

So, solving for each eigenvector subspace:

\left [ \begin{array}{cc} 4 & 2 \\ 5 & 1 \end{array} \right ] \left [ \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \end{array} \right ] = \left [ \begin{array}{c} -x \\ -y \end{array} \right ]

Gives us the system of equations:

4x + 2y = -x \newline 5x + y = - y 

Producing the subspace along the line y = -\frac{5}{2} x

We can see then that 3 is the answer.
