The correct answer is:  [B]:  " (2, 5) ".
__________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________
  -5x + y = -5 ;
  -4x + 2y = 2 .
___________________________________________
  Consider the first equation:
___________________________
-5x + y = -5 ;  ↔ y + (-5x) = -5 ;

↔ y - 5x = -5 ;  Add "5x" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve in terms of "y".
_____________________________________________
   y - 5x + 5x = -5 + 5x  

   y = -5 + 5x ;  ↔ y = 5x - 5 ;
____________________________________________
 Now, take our second equation:
______________________________
     -4x + 2y = 2 ; and plug in "(5x - 5)" for "y" ;  and solve for "x" :
_____________________________________________________
         -4x + 2(5x - 5) = 2 ; 
______________________________________________________
Note, 2(5x - 5) = 2(5x) - 2(5)  = 10x - 10 ;
__________________________________________
So:   -4x + 10x - 10 = 2 ;

On the left-hand side of the equation, combine the "like terms" ;

-4x +10x = 6x ;  and rewrite:

6x - 10 = 2  ;

Now, add "10" to each side of the equation:

6x - 10 + 10 = 2 + 10 ;

to get:

           6x = 12 ;  Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "6" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ; 

           6x/6 = 12 / 6 ;
 
                 x = 2 ;
_________________________________
Now, take our first given equation; and plug our solved value for "x" ; which is "2" ; and solve for "y" ;
_____________________________________
-5x + y = -5  ;

-5(2) + y = -5 ;

-10 + y = -5 ;  ↔
                              y - 10 = -5  ;

Add "10" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;
     
         y - 10 + 10 = -5 + 10 ;

                   y = 5 .
_____________________________
So, we have, x = 2 ; and y = 5 .
____________________________
Now, let us check our work by plugging in "2" for "x" and "5" for "y" in BOTH the original first and second equations:
______________________________
first equation: 

-5x + y = -5 ;

-5(2) + 5 =? -5?

-10 + 5 =? -5 ? YES!
______________________
second equation:

-4x + 2y = 2 ;

-4(2) + 2(5) =? 2 ?

-8 + 10 =? 2 ?  Yes!
_______________________________________________________
So, the answer is: 
___________________________________________________________
          x = 2 , y = 5 ; or, "(2, 5)" ;  which is: "Answer choice: [B] " .

Match the hyperbolas represented by the equations to their foci.
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

1) (1 , -22) and (1 , 12) ⇔ (y + 5)²/15² - (x - 1)²/8² = 1

2) (-7 , 5) and (3 , 5) ⇔ (x + 2)²/3² - (y - 5)²/4² = 1

3) (-6 , -2) and (14 , -2) ⇔ (x - 4)²/8² - (y + 2)²/6² = 1

4) (-7 , -10) and (-7 , 16) ⇔ (y - 3)²/5² - (x + 7)²/12² = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the equation of the hyperbola

- The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with

  center (h , k) and transverse axis parallel to the x-axis is

  (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1

- the coordinates of the foci are (h ± c , k), where c² = a² + b²

- The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with

  center (h , k) and transverse axis parallel to the y-axis is

  (y - k)²/a² - (x - h)²/b² = 1

- the coordinates of the foci are (h , k ± c), where c² = a² + b²

* Lets look to the problem

1) The foci are (1 , -22) and (1 , 12)

- Compare the point with the previous rules

∵ h = 1 and k ± c = -22 ,12

∴ The form of the equation will be (y - k)²/a² - (x - h)²/b² = 1

∵ k + c = -22 ⇒ (1)

∵ k - c = 12 ⇒ (2)

* Add (1) and(2)

∴ 2k = -10 ⇒ ÷2

∴ k = -5

* substitute the value of k in (1)

∴ -5 + c = -22 ⇒ add 5 to both sides

∴ c = -17

∴ c² = (-17)² = 289

∵ c² = a² + b²

∴ a² + b² = 289

* Now lets check which answer has (h , k) = (1 , -5)

  and a² + b² = 289 in the form (y - k)²/a² - (x - h)²/b² = 1

∵ 15² + 8² = 289

∵ (h , k) = (1 , -5)

∴ The answer is (y + 5)²/15² - (x - 1)²/8² = 1

* (1 , -22) and (1 , 12) ⇔ (y + 5)²/15² - (x - 1)²/8² = 1

2) The foci are (-7 , 5) and (3 , 5)

- Compare the point with the previous rules

∵ k = 5 and h ± c = -7 ,3

∴ The form of the equation will be (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1

∵ h + c = -7 ⇒ (1)

∵ h - c = 3 ⇒ (2)

* Add (1) and(2)

∴ 2h = -4 ⇒ ÷2

∴ h = -2

* substitute the value of h in (1)

∴ -2 + c = -7 ⇒ add 2 to both sides

∴ c = -5

∴ c² = (-5)² = 25

∵ c² = a² + b²

∴ a² + b² = 25

* Now lets check which answer has (h , k) = (-2 , 5)

  and a² + b² = 25 in the form (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1

∵ 3² + 4² = 25

∵ (h , k) = (-2 , 5)

∴ The answer is (x + 2)²/3² - (y - 5)²/4² = 1

* (-7 , 5) and (3 , 5) ⇔ (x + 2)²/3² - (y - 5)²/4² = 1

3) The foci are (-6 , -2) and (14 , -2)

- Compare the point with the previous rules

∵ k = -2 and h ± c = -6 ,14

∴ The form of the equation will be (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1

∵ h + c = -6 ⇒ (1)

∵ h - c = 14 ⇒ (2)

* Add (1) and(2)

∴ 2h = 8 ⇒ ÷2

∴ h = 4

* substitute the value of h in (1)

∴ 4 + c = -6 ⇒ subtract 4 from both sides

∴ c = -10

∴ c² = (-10)² = 100

∵ c² = a² + b²

∴ a² + b² = 100

* Now lets check which answer has (h , k) = (4 , -2)

  and a² + b² = 100 in the form (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1

∵ 8² + 6² = 100

∵ (h , k) = (4 , -2)

∴ The answer is (x - 4)²/8² - (y + 2)²/6² = 1

* (-6 , -2) and (14 , -2) ⇔ (x - 4)²/8² - (y + 2)²/6² = 1

4) The foci are (-7 , -10) and (-7 , 16)

- Compare the point with the previous rules

∵ h = -7 and k ± c = -10 , 16

∴ The form of the equation will be (y - k)²/a² - (x - h)²/b² = 1

∵ k + c = -10 ⇒ (1)

∵ k - c = 16 ⇒ (2)

* Add (1) and(2)

∴ 2k = 6 ⇒ ÷2

∴ k = 3

* substitute the value of k in (1)

∴ 3 + c = -10 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ c = -13

∴ c² = (-13)² = 169

∵ c² = a² + b²

∴ a² + b² = 169

* Now lets check which answer has (h , k) = (-7 , 3)

  and a² + b² = 169 in the form (y - k)²/a² - (x - h)²/b² = 1

∵ 5² + 12² = 169

∵ (h , k) = (-7 , 3)

∴ The answer is (y - 3)²/5² - (x + 7)²/12² = 1

* (-7 , -10) and (-7 , 16) ⇔ (y - 3)²/5² - (x + 7)²/12² = 1

Rename as a mixed number in simplest form. 15 22/20
Semenov [28]
16 1/10
Because you have 15 and then for 22/20 it is a improper fraction so take 20 away from it to get 2/10 then add 1 to 15 for 16 and then simplify 2/20 to 1/10

Illusion [34]

As AB and ED are parallel, they have the same slope. This means that since lines that are colllinear with parallel segments are parallel, lines l and m are parallel.
