Well if you take 468 and divide it by 18 you get 26 that 26mpg take 754 divide it by 26 and you get 29 and that's how many gallons he used
1) Line should be parallel to y = 3x+6, so slope of this line should be =3.
y=mx +b
y=3x +b
Now we have to find b (y-intercept), using the point (-10, 2.5).
2.5 = 3*(-10)+b
b=2.5+30=32.5
y=3x + 32.5
2) The line should be perpendicular to y = -4x -2, so its slope is going to be negative reciprocal m= 1/4.
Now we have to find b (y-intercept), using the point (-16, -11).
y=(1/4)x +b
-11=(1/4)*(-16) + b
-11 = -4 +b
b = -7
y=(1/4)x - 7
First question:
1. Set equations equal to each other so 5x-9=2x+6
2. Put x's on one side so that 3x=15
3. Divide by 3 so that x=15
4. Substitute 15 in for x so that y=2(15)+6
5. Solve for y so that y=36
6. Thus the equations intersect at (15,36)
Second question:
1. Since for lines y=mx+b, and m=slope=3 you only need to write an equation with slope 3
2. y=3x+b, b can be any number
Answer:
x equals to - 5.5 or - 11/2
Answer:
An outcome that is not possible is that the lines intersect in two different points so the system has two solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
The two lines can never intersect each other at two points. Two lines intersects only once if they intersect otherwise they are parallel or coincide.
