For the first line we have a slope of (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(2--2)/(1--1)=4/2=2 so we have:
y=2x+b, now solve for b with either of the points, I'll use: (1,2)
2=2(1)+b
b=0 so the first line is:
y=2x
Now the second line:
(1-10)/(4--2)=-9/6=-3/2 so far then we have:
y=-3x/2+b, using point (4,1) we solve for b...
1=-3(4)/2+b
1=-6+b
b=7 so
y=-3x/2+7 or more neatly...
y=(-3x+14)/2
...
The solution occurs when both the x and y coordinates for each are equal, so we can say y=y, and use our two line equations...
2x=(-3x+14)/2
4x=-3x+14
7x=14
x=2, and using y=2x we see that:
y=2(2)=4, so the solution occurs at the point:
(2,4)
The answers to the blanks are

3. 120,
4. 180.
Explanation:
- The fence means perimeter around the court. So a tennis court's perimeter is 600 feet fence. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2 times the sum of the rectangle's length and the rectangle's width.
- It is given that length equals 60 more than width i.e. l = w + 60, where l is the length of the court and w is the width of the court.
- The perimeter of a court = 600 = 2 (l + w) = 2l + 2w = 2 (w +60) + 2w, this becomes, 2w + 120 + 2w = 600; 4w = 480, w = 120.
- Since l = w + 60, l = 120 + 60 = 180. So length of a court is 180 feet and the width of a court is 120 feet.
5 units is the length of the side opposite ZB
30 is 20% of 150
Working out percentage problems of the form "30 is 20 percent of what number?"
We have, 20% × x = 30
or,
20/100 × x = 30
Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 20,
we have x = 30 × 100/20
x = 150
If you are using a calculator, simply enter 30×100÷20, which will give you the answer.
