Step 1. Multiply first equation with -3 and the second one with 2. You'll get:
Step 2. Add both equations together. You'll get:
, which gives x = -2
Step 3. Replace x = -2 in the first equation and calculate y.
The solution is: x=-2, y=5
Equation of a line:
m = gradient: The difference between two y points and two x points.
c = y-intercept: Where the line crosses the y-axis (x=0)
You have:
so you are missing the m and the c.
To calculate m find two y coordinates -you have (12,
<u>7</u>) and (0, <u>
1</u>)- and subtract them. Then divide this by the subtracted values of the x coordinates -you have (<u>
12</u>, 7) and (<u>
0</u>, 1)- This gives:
To calculate the c, you just see where the line crosses the y-axis. Because you have the point (0, 1), you know that when x=0, y=1. Because x=0 is on the y-axis, you can tell that the line passes through y=1. This makes your c = 1:
When you plug these values into the equation you get your answer:
I think that the answer would be 2 if I am right
Answer: 1,259 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
GIven: The highest elevation in a small country occurs on a mountain above sea level = 1,232 meter
The lowest elevation in the same country occurs below sea level = -27 meters
The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points = Highest - lowest
= 1232 - (-27) meters
= 1232+27 meters [ (-)(-)=(+) ]
= 1259 meters
Hence, the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points = 1,259 meters.
