Option C

The correct ordered pair is (1, -2)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given system of equations are:

5x - 2y = 9  ---- eqn 1

3x + 4y = -5 ----- eqn 2

We have to use elimination method to solve the system of equations

Multiply eqn 1 by 2

10x - 4y = 18 ---- eqn 3

Add eqn 2 and eqn 3

3x + 4y = -5

10x - 4y = 18

(+) -------------------

13x = 13

<h3>x = 1</h3>

<em><u>Substitute x = 1 in eqn 1</u></em>

5x - 2y = 9

5(1) - 2y = 9

5 - 2y = 9

2y = -4

<h3>y = -2</h3>

Thus the ordered pair (1, -2) Option C is correct

Answer:

x=1, y=-2. (1, -2).

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-2y=9

3x+4y=-5

---------------

2(5x-2y)=2(9)

3x+4y=-5

--------------------

10x-4y=18

3x+4y=-5

----------------

13x=13

x=13/13

x=1

5(1)-2y=9

5-2y=9

2y=5-9

2y=-4

y=-4/2

y=-2

What is an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (6, −7)
Ber [7]

Answer:

y = -7/6x

Step-by-step explanation:

y - y1 = m*(x-x1)

m=y/x

y - (-7) = -7/6*(x-6)

y + 7 = -7/6x + 7

y = -7/6x + 7 - 7

y = -7/6

37. Construct Arguments Luis and Raul are
Katarina [22]

Using the slope - intercept relation, the required equation which models the scenario and Raul's speed are ;

  • <em>y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>7.5x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>15</em><em> </em>
  • <em>4</em><em> </em><em>miles</em><em> </em><em>per</em><em> </em><em>hour</em><em> </em>

Time difference, Δt = 1.2 hours - 0.5 hours = 0.7 hours

Change in distance, Δd = 11.25 - 6 = 5.25 miles

Assuming a constant speed :

  • Speed = (Δd ÷ Δt) = (5.25 ÷ 0.7) = 7.5 mi/hr

<u>Using the general form</u> :

  • y = bx + c

At, x = 1.2 hours ;

Miles left, y = 6 miles

End point decreases by 7.5 mi/hr (-7.5 mi/hr)

Inputting the data into the equation :

6 = - 7.5(1.2) + c

6 = - 9 + c

c = 6 + 9 = 15 miles

<u>The expression in slope intercept form becomes</u> ;

  • y = -7.5x + 15

<u>If Raul lives 5 miles closer to the beach</u> ;

<u>Time it will take Luis to get to the beach</u> :

  • Time taken = (15 ÷ 7.5) = 2.5 hours

Distance Raul has to cover = 15 - 5 = 10 miles

To reach the beach after 2.5 hours ;

  • Speed required = (10 ÷ 2.5) = 4 mi/hr

Therefore, Raul has to ride at 4 miles per hour for the plan to work.
