Answer:
a) 0
b) 4.5
c) 3
d) 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula: 3x + 4y = 12
The questions contains the values of x. So here's an example of:
d) x = -4, y = ?
Using the formula: 3(-4) + 4y = 12
-12 + 4y = 12
4y = 24
y = 6
Do the same for the others!
If the 3 points are collinear, then the slopes of all line segments connecting the points are the same.
Thus,
-6 - (-8) 2
m = ------------- = -------- = -1/2
-7 - (-3) -4
Then the following must be true:
4-(-6) 10
-1/2 = ------------ = ---------
c - (-7) c + 7
Cross multiplying, -(c+7) = 20, and c+7 = -20, so that c = -27
I didn’t even know words at this point
You can simplify by 3 and get 8/17
