Step-by-step explanation:
well first try by addding the numbers and then dived it by 2
Put them into y=mx+b
y=1/3x -1
y=2/3x-4
Graph them. Where they touch is your answer. No touch? No solution. Same line? Infinite solutions.
Second set: Same thing.
Solution to first set is (9,2)
The shortest distance they have to travel to return to their starting point is 9.4 miles.
Explanation
The joggers run 8 mile north and then runs 5 miles west. we have to calculate the shortest distance they have to travel to return to their starting point.
The distance traveled north and west respectively makes the height and base of a right angled triangle.
to find the shortest distance to the starting point, the hypotenuse has to be determined.
height h=8 miles
base b=5 miles
using pythagoras theorem

The shortest distance to the starting point is 9.4 miles
Answer:
-9/7
Step-by-step
Slope Formula:

We can plug in the numbers 7 and -2 for the y and -4 and 3 for x
