How do I use the substitution method to find the point of intersection of

1 answer:

7 0

To substitute, solve for one variable and then plug it into the other equation you have. In this problem, y is already solved for on the top equation (y=x+2), so you just stuff it into the second equation.

y = x + 2
3y = 4x - 2

3(x + 2) = 4x - 2
3x + 6 = 4x - 2
-x = -8
x = 8
y = x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10

solution:
x = 8
y = 10

hope this helps!! :)

Prove that the following four points will form a rectangle when connected in order

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the diagonals of the rectangle are congruent,

AC = BD

By using formula to calculate the distance between two points,

Distance between two points = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Distance between A(0, -3) and C(2, 8),

AC = $\sqrt{(8+3)^2+(2-0)^2}$

= $\sqrt{125}$

= $5\sqrt{5}$

Similarly, distance between two points B(-4, 0) and D(6, 5),

BD = $\sqrt{(5-0)^2+(6+4)^2}$

= $\sqrt{125}$

= $5\sqrt{5}$

Therefore, both the diagonals are congruent.

Hence, given quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle.

A rectangle has a perimeter of 30 inches.

The new perimeter would be 60. because the width and the height are doubled.

Schach [20]

Answer:

The original Slope is y=-1/3x-2

The perpendicular slope would be y=3x+b

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Slope:

You already have the y-interecpet, (0,-2), and you know two points (0,-2) and (-6,0), so you can find the slope with (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) so in this case, it would be (0-(-2))/(-6-0)= -1/3 and you can find y=1/3x-2.

Perpendicular Slope:

The slope of any perpendicular line would be the reciprocal of the original. So the reciprocal of -1/3 is 3. The b can be any real number because no matter the y-intercept the slope would still be perpendicular
