Answer: D. (8, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 8 --------------(1)

x - y = 12--------------(2)

eqn(2) × 3

3x - 3y = 36-----------(4)

eqn(4) - eqn(1)

-7y = 28

Divide bothside by -7

y = -4

Again, multiply eqn(2) by 4

4x - 4y = 48 ---------------(5)

eqn(5) + eqn(1)

7x = 56

Divide bothside by 7

x = 8

Therefore x=8 and y=-4

STEP 1: Multiply second equation by -3.

After multiplying we have the following system:

3x+4y−3x+3y=8=−36

STEP 2: add the two equations together to eliminate x from the system.

7y=−28

STEP 3: find y

<u>y=−4</u>

<u></u>

STEP 4: substitute the value for y into the original equation to solve for x.

3x+4(−4)=8

<u>x=8</u>

What is the slope?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this I would find two friendly points like (60,10) and (70,30). Now we will plug in for the slope-intercept formula m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.

So...

y_2=30\\y_1=10\\x_2=70\\x_1=60

Now we plug in and solve...

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\m=\frac{30-10}{70-60}\\m=\frac{20}{10}\\m=\frac{2}{1}=2

So the slope will be 2.

The diagram shows a circle of radius 1 contained in a square. If the area of the circle equals x% of the area of the square, the
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Area of square  with a side of 2r  = 2(1)  = 2  = 2^2   = 4

Area of circle =  pi ( 1)^2  =  pi

x =  pi / 4   ≈  .79   =  79%

<h3>How to infer the graphical form of a general equation</h3>

In this problem we have <em>general</em> equations of the form A · x² + B · y² + C · x + D · y + E = 0, which have to be modified into <em>standard</em> form to infer its <em>graphical</em> form. This procedure can be done by <em>algebra</em> properties:

16 · x² + 4 · y² + 96 · x - 8 · y + 84 = 0

[(4 · x)² + 2 · 12 · (4 · x)] + [(2 · y)² - 2 · 2 · (2 · y)] = - 84

[(4 · x)² + 2 · 12 · (4 · x) + 144] + [(2 · y)² - 2 · 2 · (2 · y) + 4] = 64

(4 · x + 12)² + (2 · y + 2)² = 64

4² · (x + 3)² + 2² · (y + 2)² = 64

(x + 3)² / 4 + (y + 2)² / 16 = 1 : Ellipse

x² + y² + 8 · x - 6 · y - 15 = 0

(x² + 8 · x) + (y² - 6 · y) = 15

(x² + 2 · 4 · x + 16) + (y² - 2 · 3 · y + 9) = 40

(x + 4)² + (y - 3)² = 40 : Circle

x² + 6 · x + 4 · y + 5 = 0

x² + 6 · x + 5 = - 4 · y

y = - (1 / 4) · x² - (3 / 2) · x - (5 / 4) : Parabola
