Answer:

x=4/5

y=1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

X/y=4...(1)

1/x+1/y=1/xy...(2)

From (1) make x the subject of formula

x=4y...(3)

Substitute (3) into (2)

I/4y+1/y=1/4y^2

Let the LCM be 4y

1+4/4y=1/4y^2

Cross multiply

5(4y^2)=4y

20y^2=4y

Divide both sides by 4y

5y=1

Divide both sides by 5

y=1/5

Substitute y=1/5 into(3)

x=4(1/5)

x=4/5

You would put in 12 for x since there are 12 months in a year. Then you would multiply 12 by 35, and add 70.

Need to write steps and solve thanks

Answer:

The coordinates of endpoint V is (7,-27)

Solution:

Given that the midpoint of line segment UV is (5,-11) And U is (3,5).

To find the coordinates of V.

The formula for mid-point of a line segment is as follows,

Midpoint of UV is $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}$ , $\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}$

As per the formula, $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}$ =5, $\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}$ =-11

Here $x_{1}=3; y_{1}=5$

Substituting the value of $x_{1}$ we get,

$\frac{3+x_{2}}{2}$ =5

$3+x_{2}=5\times2$

$x_{2}=10-3$

$x_{2}=7$

Substituting the value of $x_{2}$ we get,

$\frac{5+y_{2}}{2}$ =-11

$5+y_{2}=-11\times2$

$y_{2}=-22-5$

$y_{2}=-27$

So, the coordinates of V is (7,-27)

Find the slope of the line.

zubka84 [21]

to get the slope of any line, all we need is two points off of it.

so let's see hmmmmmmm this line passes through (0, 1) and hmmmm (4, -2)

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-2-1}{4-0}\implies \cfrac{-3}{4}\implies -\cfrac{3}{4}$
