<span>(1) 2x + y = 9
</span><span>(2) 8x – 2y = 6
</span>
You can eliminate the x or the y. I am going to eliminate the y

First multiply the first equation 2x + y = 9  by 2.
2x + y = 9
2(2x + y = 9)
4x +2y = 18
Now we have a new equation that we can use and we can eliminate the y from the other equation because +2y - 2y = 0. Lets do that now and solve for  x.

4x +2y = 18
8x – 2y = 6
12x = 24
12x / 12 = 24 / 12
x = 2
So we found the value of x, which is 2. To find y, insert 2 into one of the original equations. I am going to use 2x + y = 9
2x + y = 9
2(2) + y = 9
4 + y = 9
-4 + 4 + y = 9 - 4
y = 9 - 4
y = 5
y = 5.

Our point is at (x, y) = (2,5)
x = 2
y = 5

Write in slope intercept form an equation of the line that passes through (-2,5),(-1,1)
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

y=-4x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following two points: (-2,5) and (-1,1)

We want to write the equation of the line that passes through these two lines in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

First, let's find the slope

The formula for the slope (m) calculated from 2 points is \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}, where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points

We have everything we need to calculate the slope, but let's label the value of the points to avoid any confusion

x_1=-2\\y_1=5\\x_2=-1\\y_2=1

Now substitute into the formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{1-5}{-1--2}
Simplify

m=\frac{1-5}{-1+2}

Subtract

m=\frac{-4}{1}

Divide

m=-4

Now substitute -4 as m into the equation:

y=-4x+b

Now we need to find b

As the equation passes through both (-2, 5) and (-1, 1), we can use either point to help solve for b.

Taking (-2,5) for example:

Substitute -2 as x and 5 as y:

5=-4(-2)+b

Multiply

5=8+b

Subtract 8 from both sides

-3=b

Substitute -3 as b.

y=-4x-3

Hope this helps!

Cyprian was playing football, and on 4 player here is how he did. He lost 8 yards. He gained 15 yards. He gained 7 yards. He los
lord [1]

He lost 8, so he is at -8, he then gains 15 so add 15 to -8"-8 + 15 = 7

He gains 7 so now add 7 to the total: 7+ 7 = 14

He then loses 4, so now subtract 4 from the total: 14 - 4 = 10

Answer: He gained 10 yards.

Write the standard form of the equation of the circle with the given characteristics.
SOVA2 [1]
<h2><u>Circle Equations</u></h2>

<h3>Write the standard form of the equation of the circle with the given characteristics.</h3><h3>Center: (0, 0); Radius: 2</h3>

To determine the equation of a circle, use the standard form of a circle (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² where,

  • <u>(h, k)</u> is the center; and
  • <u>r</u> is the radius

Substitute the values of the center and radius to the standard form.

<u>Given:</u>

<u>(0, 0)</u> - <u>center</u>

<u>2</u> - <u>radius</u>

  • (x - h)² + (y - k)² = 2²
  • (x - 0)² + (y - 0)² = 4
  • x² + y² = 4

<u>Answer:</u>

  • The equation of the circle is <u>x² + y² = 4</u>.
