Which graph represents the solution to the given system ? Y=- 6X - 2Y +2=- 6X

Nonamiya [84]

Answer: The graph is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

Given the first equation:

$y=- 6x - 2$

You can identify that:

$m=-6\\b=-2$

By definition, the line intersects the x-axis when $y=0$ . Then, subsituting this value into the equation and solving for "x", you get that the x-intercept is:

$0=- 6x - 2\\\\2=-6x\\\\x=-\frac{1}{3}\\\\x=-0.333$

Now you can graph it.

Solve for "y" from the second equation:

$y +2=- 6x\\\\y=-6x-2$

You can identify that:

$m=-6\\b=-2$

Notice that the slopes and the y-intercepts of the first line and the second line are equal; this means that they are exactly the same line and the System of equations has<u> Infinitely many solutions.</u>

See the graph attached.

Use the graph below to estimate the solution to the system of equations shown.

Mila [183]

Answer: The second choice is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>The first line (Blue One)</h3>

$y=-x-3$ (Slope is -1 and intercepts y at -3)

<h3>The second one (Red One)</h3>

$y=2x-8$ (Slope is 2, to find y-intercept. Substitute x = 0 then we get -8) (For x-intercept, it's 4. Just substitute y=0 to get x-intercept.)

Because there are choices, it's easy to notice.

The first one, x = -4 and almost -5 which is not right. (x is around 1 almost 2.)

The second one, x = 1 and almost 2 is right.

The third one, x = -1 and almost -2 is not right (The intersection isn't even at -1 or any negative number for x-axis.)

The fourth one, just like the first one... x = 4 almost 5

<h3>Or solve the equations.</h3>

$y=-x-3\\y=2x-8$

Substitute y=2x-8 in y=-x-3

$2x-8=-x-3\\2x-8+x+3=0\\3x-5=0\\3x=5\\x=\frac{5}{3}\\(x=1\frac{2}{3})$

Look at the value of x then find the answer that matches the value of x.

Now for y, substitute x = 5/3 in y = -x-3 (or in 2x-8 if you want.)

$y=-\frac{5}{3} -3\\y=-\frac{5}{3} -\frac{9}{3} \\y=-\frac{14}{3} \\(y=-4\frac{2}{3} )$

So the answer is the second choice.

1. If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the perimeter o

tester [92]

Answer:

Part 1) The perimeter of the new figure must be equal to the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor (see the explanation)

Part 2) The area of the new figure must be equal to the area of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor squared

Part 3) The new figure and the original figure are not similar figures (see the explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the perimeter of the figure?

we know that

If all dimensions are changed proportionally, then the new figure and the original figure are similar

When two figures are similar, the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

so

The perimeter of the new figure must be equal to the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor

Part 2) If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the area of the figure?

we know that

If all dimensions are changed proportionally, then the new figure and the original figure are similar

When two figures are similar, the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

so

The area of the new figure must be equal to the area of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor squared

Part 3) What would happen to the perimeter and area of a figure if the dimensions were changed NON-proportionally? For example, if the length of a rectangle was tripled, but the width did not change? Or if the length was tripled and the width was decreased by a factor of 1/4?

we know that

If the dimensions were changed NON-proportionally, then the ratio of the corresponding sides of the new figure and the original figure are not proportional

That means

The new figure and the original figure are not similar figures

therefore

Corresponding sides are not proportional and corresponding angles are not congruent

so

<u><em>A) If the length of a rectangle was tripled, but the width did not change?</em></u>

Perimeter

The original perimeter is P=2L+2W

The new perimeter would be P=2(3L)+2W ----> P=6L+2W

The perimeter of the new figure is greater than the perimeter of the original figure but are not proportionals

Area

The original area is A=LW

The new area would be A=(3L)(W) ----> A=3LW

The area of the new figure is three times the area of the original figure but its ratio is not equal to the scale factor squared, because there is no single scale factor

<u><em>B) If the length was tripled and the width was decreased by a factor of 1/4?</em></u>

Perimeter

The original perimeter is P=2L+2W

The new perimeter would be P=2(3L)+2(W/4) ----> P=6L+W/2

The perimeter of the new figure and the perimeter of the original figure are not proportionals

Area

The original area is A=LW

The new area would be A=(3L)(W/4) ----> A=(3/4)LW

The area of the new figure is three-fourth times the area of the original figure but its ratio is not equal to the scale factor squared, because there is no single scale factor

A rectangular prism has dimensions of 1/3, 3, and 5/3 in.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular prism has a volume equal to V=xyz. V=(1/3)3(5/3)=5/3 in^3. The cube has a volume equal to V=s^3. The volume of the cube is equal to the prism when

$s^3=(1/3)(3)(5/3)\\ \\ s^3=5/3\\ \\ s=\sqrt[3]{\frac{5}{3}}in\\ \\ s\approx 1.19in$

If the gradient of a line, A, is 4, what is the gradient of a line which is perpendicular to A?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

m = - 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

When two line is perpendicular to each other the product of them is - 1

So let the other line be B

Gradient of B = t

Gradient of A = 4

$t \times 4 = - 1 \\ t = - \frac{1}{4}$

therefore m = - 1/4
