Elodia [21]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-10}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-1}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-1-(-5)}{-10-10}\implies \cfrac{-1+5}{-20}\implies \cfrac{4}{-20}\implies -\cfrac{1}{5} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-5)=-\cfrac{1}{5}(x-10) \\\\\\ y+5=-\cfrac{1}{5}x+2\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{5}x-3$

PLEASE HELP MEEEE HURRRY!!! :)

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equations -

$\begin{bmatrix}-5x-12y-43z=-136\\ -4x-14y-52z=-146\\ 21x+72y+267z=756\end{bmatrix}$

It would be best to solve this equation in matrix form. Write down the coefficients of each terms, and reduce to " row echelon form " -

$\begin{bmatrix}-5&-12&-43&-136\\ -4&-14&-52&-146\\ 21&72&267&756\end{bmatrix}$ First, I swapped the first and third rows.

$\begin{bmatrix}21&72&267&756\\ -4&-14&-52&-146\\ -5&-12&-43&-136\end{bmatrix}$ Leading coefficient of row 2 canceled.

$\begin{bmatrix}21&72&267&756\\ 0&-\frac{2}{7}&-\frac{8}{7}&-2\\ -5&-12&-43&-136\end{bmatrix}$ The start value of row 3 was canceled.

$\begin{bmatrix}21&72&267&756\\ 0&-\frac{2}{7}&-\frac{8}{7}&-2\\ 0&\frac{36}{7}&\frac{144}{7}&44\end{bmatrix}$ Matrix rows 2 and 3 were swapped.

$\begin{bmatrix}21&72&267&756\\ 0&\frac{36}{7}&\frac{144}{7}&44\\ 0&-\frac{2}{7}&-\frac{8}{7}&-2\end{bmatrix}$ Leading coefficient in row 3 was canceled.

$\begin{bmatrix}21&72&267&756\\ 0&\frac{36}{7}&\frac{144}{7}&44\\ 0&0&0&\frac{4}{9}\end{bmatrix}$

And at this point, I came to the conclusion that this system of equations had no solutions, considering it reduced to this -

$\begin{bmatrix}1&0&-1&0\\ 0&1&4&0\\ 0&0&0&1\end{bmatrix}$

The positioning of the zeros indicated that there was no solution!
