Mathematics

Answer:

m = -\frac{3}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the following formula:

slope: m = (y_{2} - y_{1})/(x_{2} - x_{1})

Let:

(x_{1} , y_{1}) = (-6 , 1)\\ (x_{2} , y_ {2}) = (3 , -2)\\

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

m = \frac{-2 - 1}{3 - (-6)}\\\\m = \frac{-3}{3 + 6}\\\\m = \frac{-3}{9}

m = -\frac{3}{9} is your answer.

Solve the following system of equations algebraically:<br> 4x - 5y = 18<br> 3x – 2y = 10
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

4x - 5y = 18 → (1)

3x - 2y = 10 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by - 4, then adding will eliminate the x- term

12x - 15y = 54 → (3)

- 12x + 8y = - 40 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x, that is

- 7y = 14 ( divide both sides by - 7 )

y = - 2

Substitute y = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

4x - 5(- 2) = 18

4x + 10 = 18 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 2

solution is (2, - 2 ) → D

31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece and the third piece
pychu [463]

"31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces"

Call the pieces a,b,c

a + b + c = 31

"second piece is twice as long as the first piece"

b = 2a

"third piece is one inch more than seven times the length of the first piece"

c = 1 + 7a

Ok, we have our equations, let's substitute the second and third into the first.

a + 2a + 1 + 7a = 31

10a + 1 = 31

10a = 30

a = 30/10 = 3

b = 2a = 6

c = 1 + 7a = 22

Check: 3 + 6 + 22 = 31, good

Answer: 3 inches, 6 inches, 22 inches
