Answer:

(2,-3) is not a solution to the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if a point is a solution to the equation, we substitute the point into the equation.  If it is true, then it is a solution, if it is false, then it is not.

y = 4x -5

-3 = 4(2) -5

-3 = 8-5

-3 = 3

This is false , so (2,-3) is not a solution to the equation

<h3>Answer: No it is not a solution </h3>

Here is why:

The ordered pair (2,-3) means x = 2 and y = -3 pair up together

Let's plug these x and y values into the equation to get...

y = 4x - 5

-3 = 4*2 - 5 .... replace  with 2, replace y with -3

-3 = 8 - 5

-3 = 3 .... we end up with a false equation

Since we get a false equation at the end, this means the original equation is false too. So y = 4x-5 is false when (x,y) = (2,-3) meaning that this point is not on the line. So this point is not a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

tens  ones. tenths hundredths thousandths

1        7       .   2          5                    3

We are rounding to the nearest tenth

We are rounding the 2 so we look at the 5.  If it is 5 or above we round up.

Since it is, we will round the 2 to a 3

A circle with radius 4 inches is inscribed in an equilateral triangle. Find the area of the triangle.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The inscribed circle has its center at the point of intersection of the angle bisectors, which also happen to be the medians. Hence the altitude of the triangle is 3 times the radius, or 12 inches.

The side length of this triangle is 2/√3 times the altitude, so the area is

... Area = (1/2)·b·h = (1/2)·(24/√3 in)·(12 in)

... Area = 48√3 in² ≈ 83.1384 in²
