Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y + 2= -1/2(x - 0)
y + 2 = -1/2x + 0
y = -1/2x - 2
-1/2x = -2
x = 4
Answer:
(2, - 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x - 3y = 13 → (1)
x + 2y = - 4 → (2)
Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 2y from both sides
x = - 4 - 2y → (3)
Substitute x = - 4 - 2y into (1)
2(- 4 - 2y) - 3y = 13 ← distribute and simplify left side
- 8 - 4y - 3y = 13
- 8 - 7y = 13 ( add 8 to both sides )
- 7y = 21 ( divide both sides by - 7 )
y = - 3
Substitute y = - 3 into (3) for corresponding value of x
x = - 4 - 2(- 3) = - 4 + 6 = 2
Solution is (2, - 3 )
Rational number integers because the sum using (LCD) is 13 and 17/24. Therefore, the answer can not be a whole number because it is in a fractional form. You can also put this number in a rational for which would be 312/24. This proves that it is a rational number.
