You solve for X in one equation and plug it into the other. So...

5x+6Y=13 
5x=13-6Y 
x=(13-6Y)/5 

Then, you replace X in the other equation... 

-5x+2y=11 
-5[(13-6y)/5]+2y=11 
-13+6y+2y=11 
8y=11+13 
8y=24 
y=3 

Now that you have Y, you just solve for x using either equations... 

5x+6(3)=13 
5x=13-18 
5x=-5 
x=-1 

Therefore, X = -1 & Y = 3

Which graph has a slope of ? A coordinate plane with a straight line. The line starts at (negative 5, negative 4) and passes thr

VikaD [51]

Answer:

slope of the first line: 1

slope of the second line: 0.778

slope of the third line: 0.375

slope of the fourth line: 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope of a line is computed as follows:

slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Therefore,

slope of the first line: [5 - (-4)]/[4 - (-5)] = 1

slope of the second line: [5 - (-2)]/[4 - (-5)] = 0.778

slope of the third line: [2 - (-1)]/[3 - (-5)] = 0.375

slope of the fourth line: [5 - (-5)]/[4 - (-4)] = 1.25

How does drawing a rectangle support the idea of composing a larger unit from smaller units

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

When you think rectangles, you think areas. Small areas aggregate to form bigger ones.

If you drew a rectangle, it's easy to divide it into smaller units by simply taking a line through its midsection from one length to the other and one width to the other. One can either form smaller squares or rectangles from a larger one.

When that is one, you'd have taken the larger area of a rectangle which is simply the product of the value of its length and it's the breadth, and divided it into smaller units.

Cheers!
