So we need to find the two lines...y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

m=(dy/dx)=(7-6)/(3-1)=1/2 so

y=x/2+b, now I'll use (1,6) to solve for b

6=1/2+b, b=5 1/2=11/2 so

y1=(x+11)/2

now the other line...

m=(8-6)/(5-3)=2/2=1

y2=x+b, using point (3,6) we solve for b

6=3+b, b=3 so

y2=x+3

Since this is just two lines they will only intersect at a single point and when they do, y=y so we can say:

x+3=(x+11)/2

2x+6=x+11

x+6=11

x=5, now use either line to solve for the corresponding y value...

y2=x+3 becomes y=5+3=8 so the solution to this system is the point:

(5,8)

Answer:

(5, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the linear equation defined by (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) is,

y-y_1=\frac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1}(x-x_1)

Thus, the linear equation defined by points (1, 6) and (3, 7) is,

y-6=\frac{7-6}{3-1}(x-1)

y-6=\frac{1}{2}(x-1)

2y-12=x-1

\implies x-2y=-11-----(1)

Similarly, the linear equation is defined by points (3, 6) and (5, 8),

y-6=\frac{8-6}{5-3}(x-3)

y-6=\frac{2}{2}(x-3)

y-6=x-3

\implies x-y=-3------(2)

Equation (1) -  equation (2),

-y = -8

⇒ y = 8

From equation (1),

x-2(8)=-11

x-16=-11

x = - 11 + 16 = 5

Hence, point (5,8) represents the solution of this system of equations.

Enrique and Yolanda collected 500 pieces of candy on Halloween. they gave half of their candy to charity. Yolanda took 180 piece
Ivenika [448]

500 − 250  = 250 pieces left after donation

Yolanda got  180 pieces....then Enrique  got 70 pieces

So he got   70 /250  = 7/25  =  28%  of the remaining candy
