The easiest way to solve this question is to write out both equations in the form y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

a) Thus, if we start with 9x - 10y = 21, then we get:

9x - 10y = 21

(9/10)x - y = 21/10 (Divide both sides by 10)

(9/10)x = y + 21/10 (Add y to both sides)

(9/10)x - 21/10 = y (Subtract 21/10 from both sides)

Thus, our first equation may be written as y = (9/10)x - 21/10

b) Now if we take the second equation, (3/2)x - (5/3)y = 7/2, we can follow the same process to get:

(3/2)x - (5/3)y = 7/2

(9/10)x - y = 21/10 (Multiply each side by 3/5)

(9/10)x = y + 21/10 (Add y to each side)

(9/10)x - 21/10 = y (Subtract 21/10 both sides)

Thus, the second equation may be written as y = (9/10)x - 21/10.

Now you might have already realised this but the two equations are actually exactly the same; if they are the same line then they are said to be coincident.

Note that if the two lines are parallel, then their gradients (m) would be the same, but the y-intercepts (c) would be different (eg. y = 2x + 3 and y = 2x + 4 are parallel).

If they just intersect at a point, then the gradients of the lines would be different, but the y-intercepts could be the same or different (eg. y = 4x + 2 and y = 9x + 2 intersect at one point).

For them to be coincident however, both the gradient and y-intercept must be the same as only then would they be the same line.

VLD [36.1K]

Answer: 5x-16

<u>Switch operations</u>

Before: -(16 - 5x)

After: 5x-16

Before you switch operation you remove the subtraction sign where -(16) is.

Which of these is a point-slope equation of the line that is perpendicular to y-25=2(x-10) and passes through (-3,7)
OLEGan [10]
Y = 2x +13

We know the slope to be 2 because lines that are parallel have the same slope. Then we can solve using slope-intercept form and  the known point. 

y = mx + b ----> Input known values
7 = (2)(-3) + b ---> Multiple
7 = -6 + b ----> Subtract 3 from both sides
13 = b

Now we can use the y-intercept found and the slope to write the equation above.

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon is 1140. What kind of polygon is it ?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

5) Regular decagon. 6) Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number 6 is yes bc the interior angles of a triangle have to equal 180, and 1+2+177 equals 180.

What is the factor pair of 9
den301095 [7]
1 x 9, 3 x 3, 9 x 1

1 and 9 are a factor pair of 9 since 1 x 9= 9

3 and 3 are a factor pair of 9 since 3 x 3= 9

9 and 1 are a factor pair of 9 since 9 x 1= 9
