A+b       5
------- = ---
2a-b      4

  b           5
-------- = ----  => 9b = 5a+45 => b = (5a+45)/9
 a+9       9


a+b       5
------- = --- => 4a+4b = 10a-5b
2a-b      4

9b = 6a

9(5a+45) =6a   divide both sides by 3

3(5a+45) = 2a

15a +135 = 2a

13a = -135

a = -135/13 = -10,38

a= -10,38

9b=6a

3b=2a

3b = 2(-10,38)

3b = -20,76

b = -20,76/3

b = -6,92

hope this helped

(a + b)/(2a - b) = 5/4                    b/(a + 9) = 5/9

4*(a + b) = 5*(2a - b)

4a + 4b = 10a - 5b

4a - 10a = -5b - 4b

-6a = -9b

6a = 9b............(a)


<span> b/(a + 9) = 5/9</span>

9*b = 5*(a + 9)

9b = 5a + 45           Recall from (a) 9b = 6a

6a = 5a + 45

6a - 5a = 45

a = 45

9b =  6a

9b = 6*45

b = 6*45/9 = 30

a = 45, b = 30

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, -1) and (4, 5)?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have two points, we can use the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( 5 - -1)/( 4 - -4)

   = ( 5+1)/(4+4)

   = 6/8

   = 3/4
