Answer:

  12x +8y +1 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write the equation by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. Then compute the constant that makes the line go through the given point. You can do that like this:

  3(x-(-3/4)) +2(y -1) = 0

  3x +9/4 +2y -2 = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  3x +2y +1/4 = 0 . . . . . . . simplify

To eliminate the fraction, multiply by 4:

  12x +8y +1 = 0

_____

<em>Comment on the equation</em>

The line ax+by=0 passes through the origin. Replacing x and y with x-h and y-k, respectively, makes the line pass through the point (h, k). That's what we did above to make the line pass through the given point.

The business of swapping coefficients and negating one causes the slope of the new line to be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line. That is what makes the new line perpendicular to the original.

Answer:

  C

Step-by-step explanation:

The step shown indicates that y was eliminated from the equations. For choices A, B, D, this is done by adding the equations together (the y-coefficients are opposites). The result of doing that gives x-terms of 4x, 0x, and 0x, respectively. These x-terms do not match the one given: 2x.

For choice C, the y-term is eliminated by subtracting twice the second equation from the first. Doing that gives ...

  (4x +2y) -2(x +y) = (14) -2(3)

  4x +2y -2x -2y = 14 -6 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  2x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

Samantha divides $16,000 into three investments: a savings account 3 points paying 7% annual interest, a bond paying 9%, and a m
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

2000 was the amount of the investment in the savings account

6000 was the amount of the investment in the payment of bonds

8000 was the amount of the investment in the money market

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, a system of equations must be generated with the information given in the statement.

Let x be the amount of the investment in the savings account

Let y be the amount of the investment in the payment of bonds

Let z be the amount of investment in the money market

Now, the first equation would be that of total investment:

x + y + z = 16000

The second equation is that of interest:

0.07 * x + 0.09 * y + 0.12 * z = 1640

Last, her equation has invested three times more in the bond payment than in the savings account:

3 * x = y

So we have 3 equation with 3 unknowns. Therefore there is a solution.

x + y + z = 16000

0.07 * x + 0.09 * y + 0.12 * z = 1640

3 * x = y

In order not to make the answer too extensive, we will solve the system of equations with the help of symbolab, here is the step-by-step of everything they do in a very detailed and precise way.

https://es.symbolab.com/solver/step-by-step/x%20%2B%20y%20%2B%20z%20%3D%2016000%3B%200.07%20%5Ccdot%20x%20%2B%200.09%20%5Ccdot%20y%20%2B%200.12%20%5Ccdot%20z%20%3D%201640%3B%203%20%5Ccdot%20x%20%3D%20y

From this, the results are as follows:

x = 2000

y = 6000

z = 8000

Thus

2000 was the amount of the investment in the savings account

6000 was the amount of the investment in the payment of bonds

8000 was the amount of the investment in the money market
