–7x + 8y = 1

Mathematics

Answer: -6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, try deleting the x-coordinate from the equations by making them the same number. By doing that I multiplied the first equation (-7x+8y=1) by 4 and (4x-8y=20) by 7. That got me -28x+32y=4 and +28x-56y=140. You could cross out the 28 which gets +32y=4 and -56y=140. Then add up both equations. It’s gets you -24y=144

-24y=144

—————— then divide by -24

-24 -24

144/-24=-6

Hope this helped!

Calculate the straight line distance between the points (-10, -7) and (-8,1).<br> G.2(B)
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

2√(17) or about 8.2462 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine the distance between the two points (-10, -7) and (-8, 1).

We can use the distance formula. Recall that:

\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

Substitute and evaluate:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} d &= \sqrt{((-10)-(-8))^2 + ((-7) - (1))^2} \\ \\ &=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(-8)^2} \\ \\ &= \sqrt{(4) + (64)} \\ \\ &= \sqrt{68}\\ \\ &= 2\sqrt{17}\end{aligned}

Hence, the distance between (-10, -7) and (-8, 1) is 2√(17) units or about 8.2462 units.
