Plotting that point puts us at a y value of -5 (the y coordinate of the point P). y=-8 is a straight horizontal line through y=-8, so the distance from -5 to -8 is 3. Remember that distance is never negative. Distance is measured using the absolute value of the numbers. So b is your choice.

If we are given x such that 25^x-9^y=18 and 5^x-3^y=3, compute 5^x+3^y.

leonid [27]

25 = 5*5 and 9 = 3*3, which we can exploit to write

$25^x-9^y=(5^2)^x-(3^2)^y=5^{2x}-3^{2y}=(5^x)^2-(3^y)^2$

so that this expression is actually a difference of squares. We can factorize this to get

$(5^x-3^y)(5^x+3^y)=18$

and given that $5^x-3^y=3$ , we divide both sides by this to get

$5^x+3^y=\dfrac{18}3=\boxed{6}$

What is another point on the line?

Kamila [148]

Answer:

B. (0,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start the point on (4,3), and becasue the slope is -3/2 you do rise over run. so you could go up 3 and left 2 or down 3 and right 2. i went up 3 and left to twice from point (4,3) and arrived at point (0,9). so the answer is B. (0,9)
