Answer:
y = (-5/3)x - 4
Explanation:
The equation of a line with slope m that goes through the point (x1, y1) is:
Additionally, two lines are parallel if they have the same slope.
The slope of the line y = (-5/3)x - 2 is (-5/3) because it is the number beside x.
So, the slope of our line is also -5/3.
Therefore, replacing m by -5/3 and (x1, y1) by (-3, 1), we get that the equation of the line is:
Finally, solving for y, we get:
So, the answer is:
y = (-5/3)x - 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Many scientific and graphing calculators will compute this easily.
The inverse of a square matrix is a square matrix of the same dimensions. That eliminates choices C and D. We can check choices A and B by computing a couple of terms of the product of the given matrix and its "inverse". That product should be the identity matrix, with 1 on the diagonal and 0 elsewhere.
Using matrix A,
(r, c) = (1, 1) = 1(-19) +2(15) +5(-2) = -19 +30 -20 = 1 . . . . correct
(r, c) = (2,3) = 3(-7) +5(6) +9(-1) = -21 +30 =9 = 0 . . . . correct
Using matrix B,
(r, c) = (1, 1) = 1(-19) +2(-2) +5(15) = -19 -4 +75 = 52 . . . . incorrect
Indications are that choice A is appropriate.
