Answer:

(17/8, -1/8)

Step-by-step explanation:

\left \{ {{2x-6y=5} \atop {x+y=2}} \right.    

the bottom equation is equivalent to x = 2-y

so I switch the value of x in the top equation to x = 2-y

and it becomes 2*(2-y) - 6y = 5

equal to 4 - 2y - 6y = 5

-8y = 1

y = -1/8

then you substitute this value in the second equation

x + y = 2 becomes x + (-1/8) = 2  

x = 2 + 1/8 = 16/8 + 1/8 = 17/8

Which equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x − 2y = −6 and passes through the point (5, −4)? Select t
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are perpendicular if the first line has a slope of m and the second line has a slope of \frac{1}{-m}.

With this information, we first need to figure out what the slope of the line is that we're given, and then we can determine what the slope of the line we're trying to find is:

5x - 2y = -6

-2y = -5x - 6

y = \frac{5}{2}x + 3

We now know that m = \frac{5}{2} for the first line, which means that the slope of the second line is m = \frac{-2}{5}. With this, we have the following equation for our new line:

y = \frac{-2}{5}x + C

where C is the Y-intercept that we now need to determine with the coordinates given in the problem statement, (5, -4):

y = \frac{-2}{5}x + C

(-4) = \frac{-2}{5}(5) + C

-4 = -2 + C

C = -2

Finally, we can create our line:

y = \frac{-2}{5}x - 2

5y = -2x - 10

2x + 5y = -10

You are given the system of equations to solve by the elimination method, which is an INCORRECT step that will NOT produce a
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: multiply x by 2 in the first equation and subtract the second equation

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a system of linear equations by elimination method , our first step is to make its (either x or y) coefficient same.

For that we multiply a number to both sides of the equation not to only one term.

So by checking all the given options it is pretty clear that the last option is not applicable for elimination method because in this 2 is multiplied to only one term, which proceeds to loose the balance of the equation.

Thus , an INCORRECT step that will NOT produce a  system with the same solution is "multiply x by 2 in the first equation and subtract the second equation ".

At what point is the function y=(x+3)/(x^(2)-7x+12) continuous
nika2105 [10]

If a function is defined as

h(x)=\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}

where both f(x),g(x) are continuous functions, then h(x) is also continuous where defined, i.e. where g(x)\neq0

So, in your case, this function is continous everywhere, except where

x^2-7x+12=0

To solve this equation, we can use the formula x^2-sx+p=0

It means that, if the leading terms is 1, then the x coefficient is the opposite of the sum of the roots, and the constant term is the product of the roots.

So, we're looking for two terms whose sum is 7, and whose product is 12. These numbers are easily found to be 3 and 4.

So, this function is continuous for every real number different than 3 or 4.
