Answer: Choice B
(-2, 5)
==================================================
Explanation:
The original system is
Multiply both sides of the second equation by 3. Doing so leads to this updated system of equations
Now add straight down
The x terms add to -4x+3x = -1x = -x
The y terms add to 3y+(-3y) = 0y = 0
The terms on the right hand sides add to 23+(-21) = 2
We end up with the equation -x = 2 which solves to x = -2
Now use this to find y. You can pick any equation with x,y in it
----------------
-4x+3y = 23
-4(-2)+3y = 23
8+3y = 23
3y = 23-8
3y = 15
y = 15/3
y = 5
Or
x-y = -7
-2-y = -7
-y = -7+2
y = -5
y = 5
Either way, we get the same y value.
So that's why the solution is (x,y) = (-2, 5)
Answer:
Option D. Slope is 1 if the line is vertical
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
Part A) Slope is a measure of the steepness of the line
The statement is true
Because, the steepness of a line is measured by the absolute value of the slope.
Part B) Slope is the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change
The statement is true
Because the formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
so
Is the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change
Part C) Slope is zero if the line is horizontal
The statement is true
Because If the line is horizontal, the y-coordinate of two points is the same
therefore
The vertical change is equal to zero
Part D) Slope is 1 if the line is vertical
The statement is Not true
Because, if the line is vertical the slope is undefined
