x-3y-27=0\\
y^2=4x\\\\
x-3y-27=0\\
x=\frac{y^2}{4}\\\\
\frac{y^2}{4}-3y-27=0\\
y^2-12y-108=0\\
y^2-12y+36-144=0\\
(y-6)^2=144\\
y-6=-12 \vee y-6=12\\
y=-6 \vee y=18\\\\
x=\frac{(-6)^2}{4} \vee x=\frac{18^2}{4}\\
x=\frac{36}{4} \vee x=\frac{324}{4}\\
x=9 \vee x=81\\\\
\boxed{(9,-6),(81,18)}

First, rearrange the first equation:

3y = x - 27
y = x/3 - 9

Square this equation to make y^2 the subject:

y^2 = (x/3 - 9)^2 = (x/3 - 9)(x/3 - 9) = (x^2)/9 - 3x - 3x + 81 = (x^2)/9 - 6x + 81

Now you can substitute this for y^2 in the second equation, then rearrange into the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0:

(x^2)/9 - 6x + 81 = 4x
(x^2)/9 - 10x + 81 = 0
x^2 - 90x + 729 = 0

Factorise the equation, then equate to zero and zolve:

(x - 9)(x - 81) = 0

x - 9 = 0 --> x = 9
x - 81 = 0 --> x = 81

Using these x values, find the corresponding y values:

y^2 = 4x ∴ y = <span>√4x
When x = 9, y = </span>√(4*9) = √36 = <span>±6
When x = 81, y = </span>√(4*81) = √324 = ±18

Now we need to test whether each y co-ordinate is positive or negative:

When x = 9 and y = 6: x - 3y - 27 = 9 - 18 - 27 <span>≠ 0
When x = 9 and y = -6: x - 3y - 27 = 9 + 18 - 27 = 0

When x = 81 and y = 18: x - 3y - 27 = 81 - 54 - 27 = 0
When x = 81 and y = -18: x - 3y - 27 = 81 + 54 - 27 </span><span>≠</span> 0

Therefore, the co-ordinates of the points of intersection are (9, -6) and (81, 18)

worty [1.4K]
It is given that line segment BC is congruent to line segment EC and that line segment AC is congruent to DC. Because of the vertical angles theorem, angle BCA is equal to angle DCE. Therefore, triangles CBA AND DEC are congruent by SAS. Using CPCTC, BA is equal to ED.

How do I find slope intercept ​
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

This can be done by calculating the slope between two known points of the line using the slope formula.

This can be done by substituting the slope and the coordinates of a point (x, y) on the line in the slope-intercept formula and then solve for b.

Rationalize the denominator, then simplify 10/sqrt2
kupik [55]

Answer:

5\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

To rationalize the denominator, you need to multiply the numerator and denominator by the radical in the denominator (aka. a factor of 1):

\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}

\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}*\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}

\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{2}

5\sqrt{2}
