The coefficients of x are already opposites, so you can simply add the two equations to eliminate x.

... (-7x +3y) + (7x -2y) = (14) + (-14)

... y = 0 . . . . . . . simplify

... -7x + 3·0 = 14 . . . . substitute the value of x into the first equation

.. x = 14/(-7) = -2

The solution is (x, y) = (-2, 0).

Determine the equation of the line with slope 5 that passes through the point M(1, 2).

Nezavi [6.7K]

You're already given the slope, so the first step you must take is to find the y-intercept. To do this, you substitute the values of the coordinate M into y = 5x + c, with the x value substituting x and the y value substituting y. This gives us:
2 = (5 × 1) + c
2 = 5 + c
- 5
-3 = c

So now you know that the y-intercept is -3, you can see that your final answer must be the first option, y = 5x - 3.

I hope this helps!

If P is directly proportional to Q. And Q = 30 when P = 40. Find Q when P = 70

Leni [432]

Answer:

Q = 52.5

Step-by-step explanation:

given P is directly proportional to Q then the equation relating them is

P = kQ ← k is the constant of proportion

to find k use the condition Q = 30 when P = 40 , then

40 = 30k ( divide both sides by 30 )

$\frac{40}{30}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$ = k

P = $\frac{4}{3}$ Q ← equation of proportion

when P = 70 , then

70 = $\frac{4}{3}$ Q ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

210 = 4Q ( divide both sides by 4 )

52.5 = Q
