Answer:
a. (2,5)
b. (14,15.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
y=4x-3
y=-2x+9
Set both equations equal to each other to solve for x.
4x-3=-2x+9
6x=12
x=2
Plug in x to solve for y.
y=4x-3
y=4(2)-3
y=8-3
y=5
(2,5)
b.
y=(5/4x)-2
y=(-1/4x)+19
Set both equations equal to each other to solve for x.
(5/4x)-2=(-1/4x)+19
4((5/4x)-2=(-1/4x)+19)
5x-8=-x+76
6x=84
x=14
Plug in x to solve for y.
y=(5/4x)-2
y=(5/4(14))-2
y=17.5-2
y=15.5
(14,15.5)
Answer:
$5 each teenager
Step-by-step explanation:
divide 75 by 15
The length of the curve is
The first step is to find the slope. Use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
The two points are (x1,y1) = (-1,5) and (x2,y2) = (2,-1)
So,
x1 = -1
y1 = 5
and
x2 = 2
y2 = -1
will be plugged into the slope formula to get...
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-1-5)/(2-(-1))
m = (-1-5)/(2+1)
m = (-6)/(3)
m = -2
The slope is -2
Use m = -2 and one of the points to find the y intercept b. I'll use the point (x,y) = (-1,5) ---> x = -1, y = 5
y = mx+b ... slope intercept form
5 = -2*(-1)+b
5 = 2+b
5-2 = 2+b-2
3 = b
b = 3
The y intercept is 3
-----------------------------------
m = -2 is the slope
b = 3 is the y intercept
Therefore y = mx+b turns into y = -2x+3 as the equation that goes through the two points
