Answer:

In the year 2000 the number of hazardous waste sites in state y was 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of hazardous waste sites in state x in the year 2000

y ----> the number of hazardous waste sites in state y in the year 2000

we know that

x=2y-8 ----> equation A

x=34 ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A

34=2y-8

Solve for y

Adds 8 both sides

34+8=2y

42=2y

Divide by 2 both sides

y=21

therefore

In the year 2000 the number of hazardous waste sites in state y was 21

For what values (cases) of the variables the expression does not exist: <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B4y%2B
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

y = - \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{3}{4y+2}

The denominator of the expression cannot be zero as this would make it undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that y cannot be, that is

4y + 2 = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

4y = - 2 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = \frac{-2}{4} = - \frac{1}{2} ← excluded value

(-12,16) and (-4,-2)find the slope
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

It's -9/4 or -2 1/4. please mark me brainliest <3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) label x1, y1, x2, and y2.

x1     y1       x2 y2

(-12, 16)     (-4,-2)

2) Remember the formula is y2-y1

                                               --------

                                                x2-x1

3) substitute

-2-16

--------

-4-(-12)

4) two minuses (negatives) is a positive (+)

so,

-2-16             -18

---------=       --------

-4+12               8

5) simplify

-18 divided by 2          -9

-----                          =   -------    or -2 1/4

  8 divided by 2             4
