Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

D. "They are the only values that make both equations true"

Discussion:

Let's test the results by substitution:

Let (x,y) = (1.5, -1,5) in -2y + 6x = 12

-2(-1.5) + 6(1.5) = + 3 + 9 = 12 so (x,y) satisfies Line A

Similarly, substitute (x,y) in 4x + 12y = -12:

4(1.5) + 12 (-1.5) = 6 - 18 = -12 so (x,y) satisfies Line B.

As there is only 1 solution point (the point of intersection) of 2 non-parallel lines, choice D is the answer.

Thank you,

MrB

Consider U = {x|x is a negative real number} which is an empty set?

gavmur [86]

I am not sure exactly what you are looking for is this problem. Are you given choices from which to choose?

The empty set is a set with no numbers. Therefore, you should look for a set that doesn't have any elements.

here's a graph of a linear function. write the equation that describes that function. express it in slope intercept form. HELP!

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{4}x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

So when you express a linear function in slope-intercept form it's given in the form of y=mx+b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. This is because as x increases by 1, the y-value will increase by m (because multiplication), and since the slope is defined as rise/run, the rise will be m, and run will be 1, giving you a slope of m/1 or m. The reason b is the y-intercept, is because whenever the linear function crosses the y-axis, the x-value will always be 0. Meaning that mx will be 0 because m * 0 will equal 0... and that leaves b by it self, so b will determine the y-intercept.

So if you look at the graph, the linear function crosses the y-axis as (0, 2) so the value of b will be 2. This gives you the equation y=mx+2.

Now to calculate the slope, we can take any two points and see how much the rise was and how much the run was. It can also be more formally defined in the equation: $y=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . So let's take the points (0, 2) and (8, 8). As you can see the x-value increases by 8 or "ran" by 8, and the y-value increased by 6. So the rise over run in this case is 6/8 which can simplified as 3/4. That is the slope. This gives you the complete equation of: $y=\frac{3}{4}x+2$

I dont need answers but does someone mind explaining what i have to do here? im stuck, thanks!

Answer:

for this problem you would have to find the coordients on the graph and then once you find all the coordients you would attach the lines together which should be a triangle.

If you need answer's I can pin a picture

Sean operates a lawn-cutting business. He charges $15 for a single lawn and $25 for a front and back lawn. Sean made $475 from 2

topjm [15]

The system of equations that models the given situation is given as follows:

x + y = 25.

15x + 25y = 475.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are given as follows:

Variable x: Number of single lawns cut.

Variable y: Number of front and back lawns cut.

He had 25 customers, hence:

x + y = 25.

He charges $15 for a single lawn and $25 for a front and back lawn, and made a total of $475, hence:

15x + 25y = 475
