Answer:

(-6,17)

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x-y=-5,

3x+y=-1

Add the two equations together to eliminate t

-2x-y=-5

3x+y=-1

-------------------

x = -6

Now that we know x, we can substitute it into one equation to find y

3x+y = 1

3(-6) +y = 1

-18 +y = -1

Add 18 to each side

-18+18 +y = -1+18

y = 17

(-6,17)

The equation (x-6)^2/16 + (y+7)^2/4 = 1 represents an ellipse. What are the vertices of the ellipse?

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$\frac{(x-6)^2}{16}+\frac{(y+7)^2}{4}= 1$

It can be rewritten as

$\frac{(x-6)^2}{4^2}+\frac{(y+7)^2}{2^2}= 1$ .....(1)

The standard form of an ellipse is

$\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}= 1$ ....(2)

Where (h,k) is center of the ellipse.

If a>b, then the vertices of the ellipse are $(h\pm a, k)$ .

From (1) and (2) we get

$h=6,k=-7,a=4,b=2$

Since a>b, therefore the vertices of the ellipse are

$(h+a, k)=(6+4,-7)\Rightarrow (10,-7)$

$(h-a, k)=(6-4,-7)\Rightarrow (2,-7)$

The vertices of the given ellipse are (10, –7) and (2, –7). Therefore the correct option is C.
