Answer:

The x-coordinate of another point is zero

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope between the two given points

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

we have

(-10,1),(5,-5)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{-5-1}{5+10}

m=\frac{-6}{15}

Simplify

m=-\frac{2}{5}

step 2

Find the x-coordinate of another point

we have

(x,-3)

we know that

If the other point is on the line, then the slope between the other point and any of the other two points must be the same

so

Find the slope between the points

(x,-3),(5,-5)

Remember that

m=-\frac{2}{5}

substitute in the formula

-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{-5+3}{5-x}

-\frac{2}{5}=-\frac{2}{5-x}

the denominators must be the same

5=5-x

x=0

therefore

The x-coordinate of another point is zero

A system of equations is given below. y=1/2x-3 and -1/2x-3. Which of the following statements best describes the two lines?
pantera1 [17]

"They have different slopes but the same y-intercept, so they have one solution" is the statement which best describes the two lines.

Answer: Option D

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given equations:

           y=\left(\frac{1}{2} \times x\right)-3

           y=\left(-\frac{1}{2} \times x\right)-3

As we know that the slope intercept form of a line is  

                             y = m x + c  

So, from equation 1 and equation 2 we can see that

              m_{1}=\frac{1}{2} \quad \text { and } c_{1}=-3

              m_{2}=-\frac{1}{2} \text { and } c_{2}=-3

So, from the above expressions, we can say that both lines have different slopes but have same y – intercept with one common solution when x = 0.
