4x - 2y = 14
y = 0.5x -1
Get just one variable on one side for both equations.
4x - 2y = 14 ⇒ 4x = 2y + 14 ⇒ 4x - 14 = 2y
y = 0.5x - 1 ⇒ x - 2 = 2y
Use the transitive property and then solve for x.
x-2 = 4x-14
12 = 3x
x = 4

It would go to 15k because it take away 20k from 35k
Answer:
a) OA = 1 unit
b) OB = 3 units
c) AB = √10 units
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given function</u>:

<h3><u>Part (a)</u></h3>
Point A is the y-intercept of the exponential curve (so when x = 0).
To find the y-value of Point A, substitute x = 0 into the function:

Therefore, A (0, 1) so OA = 1 unit.
<h3><u>Part (b)</u></h3>
If BC = 8 units then the y-value of Point C is 8.
The find the x-value of Point C, set the function to 8 and solve for x:

Therefore, C (3, 8) so Point B is (3, 0). Therefore, OB = 3 units.
<h3><u>Part (c)</u></h3>
From parts (a) and (b):
To find the length of AB, use the distance between two points formula:


Therefore:





Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = 2 - 1 / 6 - 4 =1/2
Point slope formula (I used point (6,2)):
y - 2 = 1/2 (x - 6)
y = 1/2 x - 1
