Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

To start solving this, you want to solve an equation for y. I chose 3x - 7y = 4 for later purposes. Subtract 3x from both sides and divide by -7 to get y = 4 - 3x / -7. Now because we have a value for y in terms of x, plug this into the other equation, x + 7y = 16. It now should look like this: x + 7(4 - 3x / -7) = 16. Now just distribute the 7 and simplify the denominator to get x+ (-4+3x)=16. This can now be 4x +4 = 16, starting to look familiar now. Lastly subtract the 4 from both sides and divide by 4 to get x = 5. Hope this helps!

Answer: B. He loses 1/5 of his points in the next crash

Plug in x = 0 to get y = 100(4/5)^0 = 100. He starts with 100 points

After x = 1 crash happens, he has y = 100(4/5)^1 = 80 points left. He lost 20/100 = 1/5 of his points after one crash.

What is the slope of a line that passes through the points open parentheses 5 comma 3 close parentheses and open parentheses 7 c

LenKa [72]

Answer:

$slope \: = - \frac{ 7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line that passes through the points

$\: {x}^{1} \: \: {y}^{1} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: {x}^{2} \: \: \: \: {y}^{2} \\ (5, \: \: 3) \: \: \: and \: \: (7, \: - 4)$

<u>We have to follow the formula:</u>

$\frac{ {y}^{2} - {y}^{1} }{ {x}^{2} - {x}^{1} } \\ \\ \frac{ - 4 - 3}{7 - 5} \\ \\ slope = - \frac{ 7}{2}$
