Answer:

X = 5

Y= 12

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = 39 —> (1)

5x - y = 13 —> (2)

Multiply (2) with 2

10x - 2y = 26 —> (b)

(1) + (b)

This will eliminate the y factor, leaving:

13x = 65

Therefore, x = 65/14

X= 5. Put this value of 5 in equation 1, which gives;

15 + 2y = 39

2y = 39-25

2y = 24

Y = 12

Answer:

x=5

y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = 39

2y = 39 - 3x

y = (39 - 3x) / 2

5x - y = 13

5x - ((39 - 3x) / 2) = 13

5x - 39/2 + 3/2x = 13

5x + 3/2x = 13 + 39/2

13/2x = 65/2

x = 65/2 * 2/13

x = 65/13

x = 5

y = (39 - 3x) / 2

y = (39 - 3*5) / 2

y = (39 - 15) / 2

y = 24/2

y = 12

The vertices of a triangle are P (-6,1), Q(-2,5) and R (8,1) - what is the slope of the median of the triangle that passes throu

Cloud [144]

The slope of the median of the triangle whose vertices are P(-6,1),Q(-2,5) R(8,1) and passes through R is -1/6.

Given that vertices of triangle is P(-6,1),Q(-2,5),R(8,1) and there is a median which passes through R.

Median of a triangle is a line segment which originates from a vertex of triangle and divides the opposite side in two equal parts. let median touches the line at L point.

When line passes through R then it must be a perpendicular on PQ. The coordinates of L is {(-2-6)/2,(5+1)/2}=(-4,3)

Now because median passes through R,it will be LR and we know that the formula of calculating slope of line from two points is $(y_{2} -y_{1} )/(x_{2} -x_{1} )$ where $(x_{1} ,y_{2} ),(x_{2} ,y_{2} )$ are the points of the end points of line.
