<span>(a) the slope of curve is calculated from the derivative of the curve expression y=5/x. In this problem, the slope m=-5/(a^2). (b) x=1, y=5,and m=-5, the tangent line is y-5=-5*(x-1). x=4, y=5/4, and m=-5/16, the tangent line is y-5/4=-5/16*(x-4)</span>

17. Solve the following:<br> x – 3y = 5<br> 5x – 2y = -1
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

(- 1, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x - 3y = 5 → (1)

5x - 2y = - 1 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by adding 3y to both sides

x = 5 + 3y → (3)

Substitute x = 5 + 3y in (2)

5(5 + 3y) - 2y = - 1 ← distribute left side

25 + 15y - 2y = - 1

25 + 13y = - 1 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

13y = - 26 ( divide both sides by 13 )

y = - 2

Substitute y = - 2 in (3) for corresponding value of x

x = 5 + (3 × - 2) = 5 - 6 = - 1

Solution is (- 1, - 2 )
