So let's start by guesstimating the slopes:
the green line has a slope close to -x, but more negative than that, possibly -2; the pink line has a slope close to +x, but higher towards +2.
Next let's look at the solution: the two lines intersect at the point (1, -1).
**you could just simple plug that x (1) into all the equations, but let's rule out answers anyway. ;)
A) is incorrect because the slopes of -1 and +1 are off from out predicted -2 and +2
B) is incorrect because of a similar reason, the slopes of +3 and +1 don't make any sense
C) Ooh, we do have a +2 and -2 for the slopes, and... violà! plug in 1 for the x's and we get -1 for the y in both equations
D) slopes are closer than in A and B, but plugging in 1 doesn't get us -1
So the correct answer is:
C) y = 2x - 3 and y = −2x + 1
If you divid 8.4 x 107 and 3 x 103 you should get 2.8 x 104
Point G cannot be a centroid because GE is wider that JG or JG is shorter than GE. So in this diagram GE is wider than JG with 10 cm and 5 cm respectively based on this information Point G cannot be a centroid of triangle HJK. So the answer is point G cannot be a centroid because JG is shorter than GE.
Answer:
1st: 22, 2nd: 27, 3rd: 88
Step-by-step explanation:
Make an equation
If she recieved x calls the 1st evening, then the 2nd evening she recieved x+5, and the 3rd evening she recieved 4x.
x+x+5+4x=137
Combine like terms
6x+5=137
Subtract 5 from both sides
6x=132
Divide by 6 on both sides
x=22
First:
22 calls
Second:
x+5
22+5
27 calls
Third:
4x
4*22
88 calls
Hope this helps!
