Solve the system by using a matrix equation.<br> --4x - 5y = -5<br> -6x - 8y = -2

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Solution : (15, - 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve this problem using a matrix, so it would be wise to apply Gaussian elimination. Doing so we can start by writing out the matrix of the coefficients, and the solutions ( - 5 and - 2 ) --- ( 1 )

$\begin{bmatrix}-4&-5&|&-5\\ -6&-8&|&-2\end{bmatrix}$

Now let's begin by canceling the leading coefficient in each row, reaching row echelon form, as we desire --- ( 2 )

Row Echelon Form :

$\begin{pmatrix}1\:&\:\cdots \:&\:b\:\\ 0\:&\ddots \:&\:\vdots \\ 0\:&\:0\:&\:1\end{pmatrix}$

Step # 1 : Swap the first and second matrix rows,

$\begin{pmatrix}-6&-8&-2\\ -4&-5&-5\end{pmatrix}$

Step # 2 : Cancel leading coefficient in row 2 through $R_2\:\leftarrow \:R_2-\frac{2}{3}\cdot \:R_1$ ,

$\begin{pmatrix}-6&-8&-2\\ 0&\frac{1}{3}&-\frac{11}{3}\end{pmatrix}$

Now we can continue canceling the leading coefficient in each row, and finally reach the following matrix.

$\begin{bmatrix}1&0&|&15\\ 0&1&|&-11\end{bmatrix}$

As you can see our solution is x = 15, y = - 11 or (15, - 11).

brooke found the equation of the line passing through the points (-7,25) and (-4,13) in slope-intercept form as follows

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The equation of the line passing through the points (-7,25) and (-4,13) in slope-intercept form is $\mathbf{y=-4x-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of line passing through the points (-7,25) and (-4,13) in slope-intercept form.

The general equation of slope-intercept form is: $y=mx+b$

First we need to find slope

The formula used for finding slope is: $Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We are given: $x_1=-7, y_1=25, x_2=-4, y_2=13$

Putting values in formula and finding slope

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{13-25}{-4-(-7)}\\Slope=\frac{13-25}{-4+7}\\Slope=\frac{-12}{3}\\Slope=-4$

So, slope m= -4

Now finding y-intercept

Using slope m=-4 and point (-7,25) we can find y-intercept

$y=mx+b\\25=-4(-7)+b\\25=28+b\\b=25-28\\b=-3$

So, y-intercept b =-3

Now, the equation of required line having slope m=-4 and y-intercept b=-3 is:

$y=mx+b\\y=-4x-3$

So, the equation of the line passing through the points (-7,25) and (-4,13) in slope-intercept form is $\mathbf{y=-4x-3}$

A ticket to a museum costs $8. A ticket to the dinosaur exhibit costs $5. The expression 8n+5n represents the cost in dollars fo

julia-pushkina [17]

The equation which represents the people that want to visit the museum and the exhibit is 8n+5n.
As you can see, the variable n is present in both terms 8n and 5n of the equation, so we can now factor the equation. You create parenthesis in which you put inside 8+5 and then you throw the variable n outside the parenthesis, and you get at last:
8n + 5n = (8+5)n

Hope this helps! :D
