m = 2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

m = $(y_{2} - y_{1} ) / (x_{2} - x_{1})$

Here, $(x_{1} ,y{1} ) =(-3 ,-8)$

$(y_{1} ,y_{2} ) = (0,-2)$

Step 2:

m = $(-2+8)/(0+3) = 2$

Half of Robert's piece of wire is equal to ⅔ of Maria's wire. The total length of their wires is 12 feet. How much longer is Rob

____ [38]

Answer:

Robert's piece of wire is 5 feet long

and Maria's piece of wires is 7 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose x and y are Robert's and Maria's piece of wires respectively.

We can write following equation using this statement "Half of Robert's piece of wire is equal to ⅔ of Maria's wire".

$\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{2}{3} y$ --------------(1)

The total length of their wires is 12 feet.

$x+y=12$ ------------(2)

=> $x=12-y$

Substitute x=12-y in equation (1)

$\frac {1}{2} (12-y) = \frac{2}{3} y$

$6-\frac{1}{2} y = \frac {2}{3} y$

$6 = \frac {2} {3} y + \frac {1} {2} y$

$y=7$

Put y=7 in equation (2)

$x+7 = 12 \\x =5$

If 3p+4q=8 and 4p+3q=13, what is q equal to?

Zepler [3.9K]

Q=-1 :)
just solve for one variable of your choice in either function, in this case p then plug it into the other function to start solving for q.
