Answer:

The slope of the line passing through (-2, 5) and (4,-1) is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we can use the formula Δy÷Δx=s.

(Change in y divided by change in x is equal to slope)

First, plot the two points on a graph, then draw a line connecting the two points.

Then, draw a line from (-2,5) to (-2,-1). Since the line goes down by 6 units from (-2,5), this means that the change in y is -6.

Draw a line from (-2,5) to (4,5). Since the line goes right by 6 units from (-2,5), this means that the change in x is +6.

Δy÷Δx=s

-6÷6=s

-6÷6=-1

-1=s

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (-2, 5) and (4,-1) is -1.

6 children and 2 adults are going to the circus, children tickets are on sale, half the price of adult tickets totaling $54. How

inna [77]

Answer:

Price of 1 child ticket is $5.4

Price of 1 adult ticket is $10.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

6 children and 2 adults are going for circus.

Children ticket is half the price of adult ticket.

Total ticketing cost =$54

To find:-

Cost of 1 child ticket=?

Cost of 1 Adult ticket=?

Solution:-

Let price of 1 child ticket be x and price of 1 adult ticket be y,

therefore from the given data we get 2 equations,

$6x+2y=54$ -----------------------------------(1)

$x=\frac{1}{2} y$ --------------------------------(2)

Now, substituting the value of x from equation 2 in equation 1,

$6x+2y=54$

$6(\frac{1}{2} y)+2y=54$

$\frac{6}{2}y+2y=54$

$3y+2y=54$

$5y=54$

$\therefore y=\frac{54}{5}$

$\therefore y =10.8$ ------------------------(3)

Now, substituting the value of y from equation 3 in equation 2,

$x=\frac{1}{2} y$

$\therefore x=\frac{1}{2} \times 10.8$ ------------(from equation 3)

$\therefore x=\frac{10.8}{2}$

$\therefore x=5.4$ ----------------------(4)

As, x is price of 1 child ticket and y is price of 1 adult ticket,

Therefore price of 1 child ticket is $5.4 and price of 1 adult ticket is $10.8

Solve the system of equations. 10x+y=−20 y=2x2−4x−16 ( , ) and ( , )

Sladkaya [172]

I will go about solving this using the elimination method.

First, convert the equations.

10x + y = -20
4x + y = -12

Second, find the easiest variable to get rid of and get rid of it! (In this case, y) We will subtract to get rid of y.

6x = -8

Third, you want to solve the equation.

6x = -8 (divide by 6)
x = $-1 \frac{1}{3}$

Fourth, solve for y by inserting the answer for x into one of the equations.

10( $-1 \frac{1}{3}$ ) + y = -20
$-13 \frac{1}{3}$ + y = -20 (subtract $-13 \frac{1}{3}$ )
y = $-6 \frac{2}{3}$

The solution for this system of equations is ( $-1 \frac{1}{3}$ , $-6 \frac{2}{3}$ ).
