Multiply the first equation by -4, to set up the x-coefficients to cancel. Take the value for y and substitute it back into either one of the original equations. Solution: In this example, we will multiply the first row by -3 and the second row by 2; then we will add down as before.

Science ignores

Neither beliefs or opinions. Science is open to all opinions and beliefs and can use them to make sense. You could use it to connect with your original beliefs.

The endpoints of CD are C(–8, 4) and D(6, –6). What are the coordinates of point P on CD such that P is the length of the line s

Arturiano [62]

If you graph the end points C and D then graph the 4 points at the end it is difficult to tell which points are on CD without a line.
Using the endpoints find the slope (change in y/ change in x) then substitute a point in to find the intercept.
Slope = (-6-4)/(6- -8) = -5/7
Intercept equation (-6) = -5/7 (6) + b
b = -1.71428571429
Graphing the line shows only 2 points on the line (–2.75, 0.25) and (0.75, –2.25)
I am confused by the part, "P is the length of the line segment from D". Were you given a length P to help you determine which point. Using the distance formula to find the length from each point to D doesn't help determine which one is best with the information you have given. The image shows the distances I calculated and the graphed points.
I hope this helps!
