Answer:
The distance between the starting point and the end point
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
{x,y} = {89/37,-71/37}
Step-by-step explanation:
8x = 3y + 25
[2] x = 3y/8 + 25/8
Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
[1] 6•(3y/8+25/8) + 7y = 1
[1] 37y/4 = -71/4
[1] 37y = -71
Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] 37y = - 71
[1] y = - 71/37
By now we know this much :
x = 3y/8+25/8
y = -71/37
Use the y value to solve for x
x = (3/8)(-71/37)+25/8 = 89/37
It looks like your instructor wants you to write in point-slope form.
the equation for point slope form is quite simple
y-y1=m(x-x1)
your variables:
y and x: just state these as they are
m: slope
y1 and x1: the numbers in the point given
keep in mind a double negative equals a positive, so when you come across a negative coordinate you would put + instead of - in your equation.
your final answer would be
y+2=-2(x-4)
I hope this helped :)
please don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions
B 2/10 is not simplified because you can divide each number by 2 reducing it to 1/5.
