We are using substitution to solve this problem.

y=3x+1
y=-2x+3
Make these equal each other: 3x+1=-2x+3
Add 2x to both sides: 3x+2x+1=-2x+2x+3
= 5x+1=3
Subtract 1 from both sides; 5x+1-1=3-1
= 5x=2
Divide 5 from both sides: 5x/5=2/5
X= 2/5
Plug X into one of the equations: y=3(2/5) +1
y=11/5(2.2)

(2/5,11/5)

Find the equation of the line that passes through points (3,5) and (-6,2). Write the equation in slope intercept form.

andrezito [222]

1) gradient of line = Δ y ÷ Δ x
= (5 -2) ÷ (3 - (-6))
= ¹/₃

using the point-slope form (y-y₁) = m(x-x₁)
using (3,5)
(y - 5) = ¹/₃ (x -3)
   y - 5 = ¹/₃x - 1
⇒ <span> y = ¹/₃ x + 4 [OPTION D]

</span>2)    y = 2x + 5 .... (1)
<span>    </span>y = ¹/₂ x + 6 .... (2)

by substituting y in (1) for y in (2)

2x + 5 = ¹/₂ x + 6
   ³/₂ x = 1
x = ²/₃

by substituting found x (2)

    y = ¹/₂ (²/₃) + 6
y = ¹⁹/₃

∴ common point is (²/₃ , ¹⁹/₃) thus answer is FALSE [OPTION B]

3) Yes [OPTION A]
This is because the both have a gradient of 5 and if they have the same gradient then that means that the two lines are parallel to each other.

4) No [OPTION B]
Two lines are perpendicular if their gradients multiply to give - 1 and as such one is the negative reciprocal of the other. Since both gradients are ¹/₂ then they are actually parallel and not perpendicular.

What is the exact circumference of a circle with a radius of 12 inches?

Anestetic [448]

We can get the circumference of any circle in terms of the radius with this formula. C = 2 $\pi$ r.

Where r is the radius of the circle.

And we will use 3.14 for $\pi$ .

Plug in all the values.

C = 2 * 3.14 * 2

C = 12.56

So, the circumference of the circle is 12.6 inches when rounded to the nearest tenth.
