First, isolate y:
2x - 3y = 6
-3y = -2x + 6
3y = 2x - 6
y = 2/3x - 2
That means that the line passes through the point (0, -2) and has a positive slope of 2/3. So it would be choice A because the line in choice A passes through the point (1, -2) and has a positive slope. Choice D also passes through the point (0, -2) but has a negative slope so it cannot be the correct answer.
Choice A is correct.

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+25-10x = x^2-25

-x^2 -x^2

25-10x = -25

-25 -25

-10x = -50

x=5

lets check

(5-5)^2 = 5^2-25

0^2 = 25-25

0 = 0

Answer:

4 toothpicks.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Kiley had a piece of bamboo skewer that measured 14 3/5 inches long. She wanted to cut it into toothpicks that were each 3 1/5 inches long.

To find the number of toothpicks that Kiley can make from bamboo skewer, we need to divide the length of skewer by length of each toothpick.

Total number of toothpicks = 14 3/5 ÷ 3 1/5

First of all, we will convert our given mixed fractions into improper fractions as:

Total number of toothpicks = 73/5 ÷ 16/5

Dividing a fraction by another fraction is same as multiplying the 1st fraction by the reciprocal of 2nd fraction.

Total number of toothpicks = 73/5 x 5/16

Total number of toothpicks = 73/16

Total number of toothpicks = 4.5625

Therefore, Kiley can make 4 toothpicks.

hope this helps, can i get brainliest please?
