ANSWER

The solution is where the two graphs intersect, which is
(-3,1).

EXPLANATION

The given system of equations are
y = \frac{1}{3} x + 2
and

y = - x - 2

We need to graph the two equations.

Let us graph

y = \frac{1}{3} x + 2
first.

We need at least two points.

You can choose any appropriate value for x and solve for y. Choosing zero makes our working easier. So let us plot the intercepts.

When
x = 0

\Rightarrow \: y = \frac{1}{3} (0) + 2

\Rightarrow y = 0 + 2

\Rightarrow y = 2

So this gives us the ordered pair,

(0,2)

When
y = 0
we get,

0= \frac{1}{3} x + 2

\Rightarrow \: - 2 = \frac{1}{3} x

\Rightarrow \: - 2 \times 3= x

\Rightarrow \: -6= x
This also gives the ordered pair

(-6,0).

We plot these two points and draw a straight line through them to obtain the blue graph in the attachment.

For the second line

y = - x - 2

We again find the intercepts and plot them.

When
x = 0

y = - 0 - 2

\Rightarrow \: y = - 2

This gives the ordered pair

(0,-2)

Also, when
y = 0

then we have,

0 = - x - 2

2 = - x

x = - 2

Then we again have the ordered pair,

(-2,0)

We plot these two points on the same graph sheet to obtain the red graph above.

The intersection of the two lines is
(-3,1)


You will get good grades so don't worry much.

The length of a rectangle is 4 cm less than it’s width. If the area of the rectangle is 165 cm^2. What are the dimensions of the
Monica [59]

Answer:

The dimensions are 11 cm by 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = (length)(width).

Let L represent the length and W the width.

Since L = W - 4, we have

Area of rectangle = (W - 4)W = 165 cm^2.

Thus, w^2 - 4W - 165 = 0.  We can solve for W using the quadratic formula:

a = 1, b = -4 and c = -165.  Thus,

        -(-4) ± √ [ (-4)² - 4(1)(-165) ]

W = ---------------------------------------

                        2

         4 ± √ [16 + 660 ]

W = ------------------------------

                       2

         4 ± √ [ 676 ]                    4 ± 26

W = -----------------------  =   W = -------------  =  W  = 2 ± 13

                  2                                  2

Thus, W is 2 + 13 = 15.  It cannot be negative, so we discard 2 - 13 = -11.

If the width, W, is 15, then the length is 4 less, or L = 11.

The dimensions are 11 cm by 15 cm

Help i'll give brainlist
kow [346]

Answer:

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The midline is the horizontal line that passes exactly in the middle between the graph's maximum and minimum points.

From inspection, curve has a maximum at y = 1 and a minimum at y = -5

The midline between these is y=\frac{1-5}{2}=-2

So the equation for the midline of this graph is y = -2  (shown in red on the attached graph)

Three U.S coins add to $1 If one of them is not half a dollar what is the smallest value coin?
Svet_ta [14]
The smallest value is $0.25 (a quarter) because you can use two quarters and a half dollar. Only one of them can't be a half dollar, but the other two can be.
