Solve the following system of equations . Plot the solution to the system on the provided graph
1 answer:
Answer:
(6, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
I will solve this system using elimination.
[/tex]
I will multiply by 2 so that -x becomes -2x.
2(-x + 2y = -12)
Distribute.
-2x + 4y = -24
Now subtract this from the other equation.
2x + 3y = 3
<u>-2x + 4y = -24</u>
7y = -21
Divide both sides by 7.
y = -3
Now that we have the value of y, plug it into the original equation.
-x + 2(-3) = -12
Simplify.
-x - 6 = -12
Add 6 to both sides.
-x = -6
Divide both sides by -1.
x = 6
(6, -3)

It helps to visualize the awning as a line whose rise is the height of the window and whose run is how far it extends from the window's base. See the picture attached.
The slope of a line is equal to rise over run. In this case, that would be 4 over 2. You can simplify that to a slope of 2.
