Answer:
Not Linear
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, which means that the degree of a linear equation must be 0 or 1 for each of its variables. In this case, the degree of variable y is 1 and the degree of variable x is 3.
Answer:
1.
-3x + 8y = -5
6x + 2y = -8
Set the equations to a common variable.
-3x + 8y = -5 → 8y = 3x - 5 → y = 3/8x - 5/8
6x + 2y = -8 → 2y = -6x - 8 → y = -3x - 4
Set the equations equal to each other.
3/8x - 5/8 = -3x - 4
Combine like terms.
3x + 3/8x = -4 + 5/8
3.375x = -3.375
Divide by 3.375
x = -1
Plug x back in to find y.
-3x + 8y = -5
-3(-1) + 8y = -5
3 + 8y = -5
8y = -8
y = -1
answer: (-1, -1)
2.
3x + 2y = -16
-3x - 8y = 46
Set the equations to a common variable.
3x + 2y = -16 → 2y = -3x - 16 → y = -3/2x - 8
-3x - 8y = 46 → -8y = 3x + 46 → y = -3/8x - 23/4
Set the equations equal to each other.
-3/2x - 8 = -3/8x - 23/4
Combine like terms.
-9/8x = 9/4
or
-1.125x = 2.25
Divide by -1.125
x = -2
Plug x back in to find y.
3(-2) + 2y = -16
-6 + 2y = -16
2y = -10
y = -5
answer: (-2, -5)
A(1, 1), B(7, 1), C(1, 9)
AB = 7 - 1 = 6
AC = 9 - 1 = 8
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
AB² + AC² = BC²
Substitute:
BC² = 6² + 8²
BC² = 36 + 64
BC² = 100 → BC = √100 → BC = 10
The perimeter of ΔABC:
P = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24
<h3>Answer: 24 units</h3>
