Answer:

(-12,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = -16

2y - x = 16

Multiply the bottom part by 2.

2x + 4y = -16

4y - 2x = 32

Add the equations and the answers to the equations up, and they will equal each other.

(2x + 4y) + (4y - 2x) = -16 + 32

8y = 16

y = 2

Plug y = 2 to the 2nd equation.

2*2 - x = 16

4 - x = 16

Subtract 4 from both sides.

-x = 12

Multiply both sides by -1.

x = -12

Write the equation of the line fully simplified slope-intercept form.

zmey [24]

Answer:5y=x-35

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line passes through the points $(0,-7)$ , $(10,-5)$ .

Let the slope of the line be $m$ .

If a line passes through $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ ,then

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

So, $m=\frac{-7-(-5)}{0-10}=\frac{1}{5}$

Y-intercept of a line is defined as the y-coordinate of the point where the line touches y axis.

Let the y intercept be $b$

From the graph, $b=-7$

The equation of the line with slope $m$ and y-intercept $b$ is $y=mx+b$

So, $y=\frac{1}{5}x-7$

$5y=x-35$

For a button to fit through its button-hole the hole needs to be the size of the buttons diameter what size buttonhole is needed

Lena [83]

Answer:the size of the button hole is 2.35 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For a button to fit through its button-hole, the hole needs to be the size of the buttons diameter.

The formula for determining the circumference of a circle is expressed as

Circumference = πd or 2πr

Where

d represents the diameter of the circle

π is a constant given as 3.14

From the information given, the circumference of the button is 7.38 cm. Therefore, the diameter of the button will be

d = circumference/π = 7.38/3.14

d = 2.35 cm
