Answer:

y = -1x - 6 is the equation of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Insert the coordinates into the formula:

-7 = -1 ( 1 ) + b

2. Solve both sides and add 1 to each side to get:

-6 = b

3. If the slope is -1 and the y-intercept (b) is -6, than the equation of the line is:

y = -1x - 6

First do Pythagorean theorem with 2.3 and 5.1.

You will need to do two thing with that answer.

First subtract it from the 10.8. That will be used for later.

Also, multiply it by 2.3 that is for the triangles that are on the sides.

Next you will want to take the number you set aside and multiply it by 2.3.

Finally add and you will have your answer.

9x+5y=34 <br>8x-2y=-2<br>What are the values of x and y? Please explain the steps.

allsm [11]

Answer:

x = 1 and y =5

Step-by-step explanation:

$8x -2y= -2\\Divide by -2\\-4x+y = 1\\add 4x\\y= 1+4x\\$

Substitute this value of y in the next equation.

$9x+5(1+4x) = 34\\9x+5+20x=34\\29x+5=34\\29x=29\\x=1$

Solve for y using x.

$y=4x+1\\y=4(1)+1\\y=5$
