So, pretend this is your x-axis and y-axis:
I
I
(-2,7) • I
I
I • (2, 5)
I
I
I
I
_________________I____________________
I
I
I
TO GET FROM POINT (-2, 7) TO POINT (2, 5), WE MOVE DOWN 2 AND OVER 4, SO THE SLOPE IS -1/2. IF WE FOLLOW THAT SLOPE AND MOVE DOWN 1 AND OVER 2 FROM THE FIRST POINT OF (-2, 7), WE WILL LAND ON A POINT LOCATED AT (0, 6), WHICH WOULD BE THE "Y-INTERCEPT". WE WERE JUST ABLE TO CALCULATE THE SLOPE OF THE LINE AND THEN USE THE SLOPE TO FIND THE INTERCEPT. SO, THE "SLOPE-INTERCEPT" FORM OF THE EQUATION FOR THIS LINE IS:
y = -1/2x + 6
TO RE-WRITE THIS IN STANDARD FORM, WE JUST WANT TO MOVE THE X VARIABLE OVER TO THE LEFT WITH THE Y VARIABLE, SO:
y = -1/2x + 6
+1/2x + 1/2x
1/2x + y = 6 .... and that is your answer!
Answer:
18x + 13y = 60
6x + 2y = 6 ---> 6x = -2y +6 ---> 18x = -6y+18
Substitution
(-6y +18)+13y =60
-18 -18
--------------------------
7y = 42 so y=6
Then, 6x + 2(6) =6, which you will get x = -1
(-1, 6)
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2(3x - 5) = 2x + 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )
3x - 5 = x + 3 ( subtract x from both sides )
2x - 5 = 3 ( add 5 to both sides )
2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 4
Answer:
3/4 using equation y2-y1/x2-x1
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the equation y2-y1/x2-x1
x1, y1 x2, y2
(16,12) (0,0)
0-12/0-16= -12/-16= 3/4
