Which equation has (2, -1) as a solution?

1 answer:

4 0

To find which of the following equations has (2, -1) as a solution, we just need to substitute the x and y values shown in the ordered pair into the equation, and if it simplifies into a true statement, then it will be a solution.

A) y = 2x - 1
-1 = 2(2) - 1
-1 = 4 -1
-1 = 3
Except, -1 ≠ 3, so the answer isn't A.

B) y = x + 3
-1 = 2 + 3
-1 = 5
Except, -1 ≠ 5, so the answer isn't B either.

C) y = x -3
-1 = 2-3
-1 = -1
-1 does equal -1, so the answer is C.

Just to be sure, we should make sure that answer D doesn't work either.

D) y = -2x + 1
-1 = -2(2) + 1
-1 = -4 + 1
-1 = -3
-1 doesn't equal -3, so D isn't the answer.

Therefore, the equation that has (2, -1) as a solution is C) y = x - 3.

Using the figure above, which theorem can you prove that m∠1 = m∠2? explain your answer.

storchak [24]

Answer:

<em>If two lines are cut by a transversal such that alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by stating that the given angles are congruent.

Call the angle vertical to angle 1 "angle 3."

Then angle 3 and angle 1 are congruent by vertical angles.

Angle 3 and angle 2 are congruent by transitive congruence of angles.

That makes lines u and v parallel by congruent corresponding angles of two lines and a transversal.

Answer

You can prove the following theorem:

<em>If two lines are cut by a transversal such that alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.</em>

anygoal [31]

This is an easy question. All required information's are provided in the question. In the first case it is given that the tank is getting filled at a rate of 3/4 gallon per 2/3 minute. So by getting the speed of filling we can compare this withe the speed at which the second tank is getting filled. The second tank fills at a rate of 5/8 gallon in 1/2 minute.
If we take the case of the first tank, then,
Speed of filling the first tank = (3/4) * (3/2)
= 9/8
So the first tank is filled at the rate of 9/8 gallons per minute.
Now if we take the case of the second tank, then,
Speed of filling the second tank = (5/8) * 2
= 10/8
So the second tank fills at the rate of 10/8 gallons per minute.
Now we can say that the second tank is getting filled at a faster rate.
