Solving algebraically we get x=2 and y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equations:

$y=-x-2\\y=-2x$

Solving and finding value of x and y

Let:

$y=-x-2\,\,eq(1)\\y=-2x\,\,eq(2)$

Subtract both equations

$y=-x-2\\y=-2x\\-\,\,\,\,+\\------\\0=x-2\\x=2$

Putting value of x in eq(1) and find value of y:

$y=-x-2\\y=-2-2\\y=-4$

So, value of y is -4

Solving algebraically we get x=2 and y=-4

If the straight line passing through A(-7, -5) and B(-3, x) is parallel to another straight line of slope 2, find the value of x

Ostrovityanka [42]

X=3; you can set up a proportion using the slope equation. So (y[sub2]-y[sub1])/(x[sub2]-x[sub1])=2/1 then plug in the values and simplify. Then cross multiply and solve for x. Rest of work shown in the picture

A circle is shown. Secants S V and T V intersect at point V outside of the circle. Secant S V intersects the circle at point W.

Marat540 [252]

Given:

Secants S V and T V intersect at point V outside of the circle. Secant S V intersects the circle at point W. Secant T V intersects the circle at point U.

The length of TU is (y - 2).

The length of UV is 8.

The length of SW is (y + 4)

The length of WV is 6.

We need to determine the length of line segment SV.

Value of y:

The value of y can be determined using the intersecting secant theorem.

Applying, the theorem, we get;

$WV \times SV=UV \times TV$
