What would you have to do to make the line y = 2x -7 steeper on the coordinate plane?

1 answer:

6 0

The slope, if increased, would make the line y=2x-7 steeper. If you were to increase the y intercept, you would just move the line, not tilt it. Suggest changing it to 4x-7 = y or 8x-7= y, if you increase the slope, it'll make it steeper.

Again, guess and test should work perfectly fine. Since 2(x+y)=32, x+y = 16. Because y-2 =x, y could be = 9 and x = 7. Hope that help!

Look at the system of equations below.

Annette [7]

Answer:

Substitution and graphing are less efficient methods than elimination for this system as there is extra amount of steps we have to take to solve the same system of equations - hence time consuming and a margin or error may happen. Therefore, elimination is the suitable method for solving this system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the system of equation below.

$4x-5y=3$

$3x+5y=13$

Elimination method sounds the most appropriate option to solve the given system of equations as we can easily sort out an equation in one variable x in minimal steps by just adding the both equations as the y-coefficient in the first equation is the opposite of the y-coefficient in the second equation, and we can determine an equation in one variable x.

Adding both equations will eliminate the y-variable and we can easily sort out the value of x from the resulting equation.

As the given system of equation

$4x-5y=3$ $......[1]$

$3x+5y=13$ $......[2]$

Adding Equation 1 and Equation 2

$4x-5y+3x+5y=3+13$

$7x=16$

$x=$ $\frac{16}{7}$

Putting $x=$ $\frac{16}{7}$ in Equation [1]

$4x-5y=3$ $......[1]$

$y=$ $\frac{43}{35}$

Although substitution or graphing methods can also be used to bring the solution of the given system of equations, but using substitution or graphing method can be sometimes cumbersome or time-consuming as it would have to take some additional steps to solve the system.

For example, if we would have to use the substitution methods to solve the given system of equations, first we would have to solve one of the equations by choosing one of the equation for one of the chosen variables and then putting this back into the other equation, and solve for the other, and then back-solving for the first variable.

As the given system of equation

$4x-5y=3$ $......[1]$

$3x+5y=13$ $......[2]$

Solving the equation 2 for x variable

$3x=13-5y$

$x=\frac{13-5y}{3}$

Plugging $x=\frac{13-5y}{3}$ in equation [1]

$4(\frac{13-5y}{3}) -5y=3$

$y = \frac{43}{35}$

Putting $y = \frac{43}{35}$ in Equation 2

$3x+5y=13$ $......[2]$

$x = \frac{16}{7}$

So, you can figure out, we have to make additional steps when we use substitution method to solve this system of equations.

Similarly, using graphing method, it would take a certain time before we identify the solution of the system.

Hence, from all the discussion and analysis we did, we can safely say that substitution and graphing are less efficient methods than elimination for this system as there is extra amount of steps we have to take to solve the same system of equations - hence time consuming and a margin or error may happen.

Therefore, we agree with the student argument that Elimination is the best method for solving this system because the y-coefficient in the first equation is the opposite of the y-coefficient in the second equation.

Solve for x. enter your answer in interval notation using grouping symbols. x^2+15x<-36

Oliga [24]

X²+15x+36<0

at first solve quadratic equation

D=b²-4ac= 225-4*1*36= 81

x=(-b+/-√D)/2a
x=(-15+/-√81)/2= (-15+/-9)/2
x1=(-15-9)/2=-12
x2=(-15+9)/2=-3

we can write x²+15x+36<0 as (x+12)(x+3)<0

(x+12)(x+3)<0 can be 2 cases, because for product to be negative one factor should be negative , and second factor should be positive
1 case) x+12<0, and x+3>0,
x<-12, and x>-3
(-∞, -12) and(-3,∞) gives empty set

or second case) x+12>0 and x+3<0
x>-12 and x<-3
(-12,∞) and (-∞,-3) they are crossing , so (-12, -3) is a solution of this inequality
