You could get two different functions out of this:
<u>2x + 2y = 8</u>
1). <u> 'y' as a function of 'x'</u>
Subtract 2x from each side: 2y = -2x + 8
Divide each side by 2 : <em> y = -x + 4</em>
2). <u> 'x' as a function of 'y' :</u>
Subtract 2y from each side: 2x = -2y + 8
Divide each side by 2 : <em> x = -y + 4</em>
Those two functions look the same, but that's just because the original
equation given in the problem was so symmetrical. In general, they're
not the same function.
X * 0.85 = 136
x = 136/0.85
x = 160
hope this helps :)
First, we obtain the gradient (slope) of the first parallel line
Recall that since both lines are parallel, we have that,
Thus
Hence, we can find the equation of the parallel line given that it passes through the points (-4, -3)
Using
Discriminant = square root (b^2 -4*a*c)
square root (64 -4*1*12) =
square root (16) =
4
Therefore it has 2 rational soltions
That is false because you have to subtract the exponents not divide
