Answer:
Canada was 418.912 sq miles smaller than the USSR.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: I don't know if this question required a calculator so I'll answer without one.
Symbols:
- USSR area in sq miles = u
- Canada area in square miles = c
u<em> </em>= 8.649×106
c<em> </em>= 4.797×106
x = how much less area
u<em> </em>= c + x
- USSR area = Canada area + number of sq miles less
Math:
u = c + x
- plug in values
8.649×106 = 4.797×106 + x
- divide by 106 to get rid of the ridiculously large numbers.
8.649 = 4.797 +
- subtract (use calculator or just traditional subtraction methods)
3.952 =
- multiply both sides by 106 (use calculator or traditional methods)
418.912 = x

Part (a)
<h3>Answer: y1 and y3 are perpendicular</h3>This is because the two slopes 2 and -1/2 multiply to -1. Perpendicular slopes multiply to -1 assuming neither line is vertical or horizontal.

Part (b)
Graph each line to see where they cross. The three points of intersection are
(0,4)
(2,-2)
(4,2)
The order of the points doesn't matter.
You could also form three systems of equations pairing up the equations, and solving each system. That way you can find the points of intersection. Graphing may be a better and faster route in my opinion. See the diagram below.
