Answer:

-9
2x + 3y = 21
4√5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Put the point values in the equation where x and y are, then solve.

... 3(-2) -2k = 12

... -6 -2k = 12 . . . . eliminate parentheses

... -2k = 18 . . . . . . .add 6

... k = -9 . . . . . . . . . divide by -2

2. The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. The equation for it can be found by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. Then, to make the line go through point (h, k), replace the constant with zero and replace x with (x-h) and y with (y-k).

... 2(x -6) +3(y -3) = 0 . . . . . a line through P perpendicular to PQ

... 2x + 3y = 21

3. The Pythagorean theorem is used for finding the lengths of line segments. The difference in coordinates between P and R is ...

... P - R = (6, 3) - (2, -5) = (6-2, 3-(-5)) = (4, 8)

The length of segment PR can be considered to be the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with these leg lengths.

... ║PR║ = √(4² +8²) = √80

... ║PR║ = 4√5

okay so ive got a ton of piecewise function things and I really suck at them so maybe someone wants to help me? :D thanks giving

[] signs mean that the number is included in the domain and () mean that the number is not included. Now,

1. [-1,5)
Because x is greater than or equal to -1 (included) but less than 5 (excluded

2. [-5,13)
When we plug in x = -1, we get the minimum value of -5, which is included because its x-value was included. The, we plug in x = 5 to find the range's maximum and this is excluded because its x-value was excluded.

3. 218
x = 6 lies in the domain of the first function so we will use it to evaluate the value of x = 6. We do this by simply substituting x into the function.

4. 12
x = 9 is included in the domain of the second function and the value of the second function at all points is 12.

5. 103
x = 10 is included in the domain of the second function so we will use it to evaluate the value of x = 10. This is done by substituting x into the equation.

It is the multiplying factor for the whole equation if that makes sense.

Can somebody please solve this? It's a coordinate thingy

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Coordinates involve two points. (x,y)

Too find a pair (coordinate), use the x and y lines on the graph and see where the point falls.

For example

Point A is number 1 on the y axis

number -4 on the x axis

So, you would write the coordinate out at 

(-4,1)

The y axis values are the second point, so after you plot all of letters, use the y axis numbers and number them from least to greatest so you can find the mystery word.

A line joins the point

Harrizon [31]

Intersection of the first two lines:

$\begin{cases}5x - 2y + 3 = 0\\4x - 3y + 1 = 0\end{cases}$

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 5:

$\begin{cases}20x - 8y + 12 = 0\\20x - 15y + 5 = 0\end{cases}$

Subtract the two equations:

$(20x - 8y + 12)-(20x - 15y + 5)=0 \iff 7y+7=0 \iff y=-1$

Plug this value for y in one of the equation, for example the first:

$5x - 2\cdot (-1) + 3 = 0\iff 5x+5=0 \iff x=-1$

So, the first point of intersection is $(-1,-1)$

We can find the intersection of the other two lines in the same way: we start with

$\begin{cases}x=y\\x=3y+4\end{cases}$

Use the fact that x and y are the same to rewrite the second equation as

$x=3x+4 \iff 2x=-4 \iff x=-2$

And since x and y are the same, the second point is $(-2, -2)$

So, we're looking for a line passing through $(-1,-1)$ and $(-2, -2)$ . We may use the formula to find the equation of a line knowing two of its points, but in this case it is very clear that both points have the same coordinates, so the line must be $y=x$

In the attached figure, line $5x - 2y + 3 = 0$ is light green, line $4x - 3y + 1 = 0$ is dark green, and their intersection is point A.

Simiarly, line $x=y$ is red, line $x = 3y + 4$ is orange, and their intersection is B.

As you can see, the line connecting A and B is the red line itself.
