Slope is the change in Y ( vertical) over the change in X( horizontal).

The slope would be -2 /3

You would multiply the horizontal distance by the slope:

-2/3 x 12 = -8

The answer would be D. v(h)=-2/3h, and the vertical distance is -8 feet.

2x + y = 5<br> 4x + 2y = 10
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: x= 5-y/2

y= 5-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y= 5

4x + 2y=10

Addition of the two equations gives:

6x + 3y = 15

6x= 15- 3y

x= 15-3y/6 or simplified to x = 5-y/2

3y= 15- 6x

y= 15-6×/3 or simplified to y= 5-2x

PLEASE HELP ASAP, BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

x/y = 88/7

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=19

x+3y=12y+5

First rewrite second equation as:

x +3y-12y = 5

Combine like terms:

x-9y = 5

Now you have:

x+y=19

x-9y = 5

Elimination method  Subtract 2 equations:

10y = 14  Divide both sides by 10

y = 14/10 = 7/5

Plug in y in any given equation and calculate x:

x+ 7/5 = 19  Subtract 7/5 from 19

x = 88/5 = 17 3/5

x/y = 88/5 : 7/5

What is the greatest possible product of a 3 digit number and a 1 digit number?
nydimaria [60]
To figure this out, we must multiply the highest 3 digit number and the highest 1 digit number together.

9 is the highest 1 digit number.
999 is the highest 3 digit number.

999 × 9 = 8991

The greatest possible product is 8,991.
