Answer: yes , it is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y .Then , the sum of the two numbers will be x + y , and their difference will be x - y.

Combining the two , we have :

x + y = 1 ............................... equation 1

x - y = 8 ................................. equation 2

solving the system of linear equation by substitution method. From equation 1 , make x the subject of the formula ,

x = 1 - y ...................... equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2 ,

1 - y - y = 8

1 - 2y = 8

add 2y to both sides

1 = 8 + 2y

subtract 8 from both sides

1 - 8 = 2y

- 7 = 2y

divide through by 2

y = \frac{-7}{2}

y = - 3.5

substitute y = -3.5 into equation 3 to find the value of x , we have

x = 1 - y

x = 1 - ( - 3.5 )

x = 1 + 3.5

x = 4.5

Let us check :

x + y will be

4.5 + (-3.5) = 1

Also ,

x - y will be

4.5 - (-3.5)

⇒ 4.5 + 3.5 = 8

This circle is centered at the origin, and the length of its radius iS 6. What is
VikaD [51]

\sf{\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}}

The equation of circle in standard form can be represented as :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:(x - h) {}^{2}  + (y - k) {}^{2}  = r {}^{2}

where,

  • h = x - coordinate of centre = 0

  • k = y - coordinate of centre = 0

  • r = radius of circle = 6 units

now, let's plug in the values :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:(x - 0) {}^{2}  + (y - 0) {}^{2}  = 6 {}^{2}

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  = 36

That's the required equation of circle.

joja [24]

Answer:

(a) y = -4x + 4   (b) y = 2x + 3

<u>solving steps:</u>

note: m refers to slope and y₁ to y point and x₁ to x point

a)

coordinates: (2,-4)

slope: -4

equation:

  • y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
  • y - -4 = -4(x-2)
  • y = -4x + 8 - 4
  • y = - 4x + 4

b)

coordinates: (1,5), (-1,1)

slope:  \sf \dfrac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}  

  • \sf \dfrac{1-5}{-1-1}  
  • 2

equation:

  • y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
  • y - 5 = 2(x - 1)
  • y - 5 = 2x - 2
  • y = 2x - 2 + 5
  • y = 2x + 3
