Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

The ordered pair (-4, -1) is a solution to the given system of linear equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

given : system of linear equations.

6m - 5n = 14

2m + 2n = - 10

We have to find the solution to the given system of linear equations.

Consider the given system of linear equations.

6m - 5n = 14 ......(1)

2m + 2n = - 10 .......(2)

We solve the given system using elimination method,

multiply equation (2) by 3 , we have,

(2) ⇒ 6m + 6n = - 30 ..............(3)

Subtract equation (1) and (3) we have,

6m + 6n - (6m - 5n) = - 30 -14

Simplify, we have,

6n + 5n = - 44

11n = - 44

n = - 4

Put n = -4 in (1) , we have,

6m - 5n = 14 ⇒ 6m - 5(-4) = 14 ⇒ 6m = 14 -20 ⇒ 6m = -6 ⇒ m = -1

Thus, the ordered pair (-4, -1) is a solution to the given system of linear equations.

Answer: The answer is C. (-1, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Times the bottom equation by 2 then subtract

6m - 5n=14

-6m + 6n= -30

-11n= 44

Then divide

n= -4

Then plug it in any one of the equations

6m - 5(-4)= 14

Multiply

6m + 20 = 14

Then change sign then subtract

6m = 14 - 20

Simplify

6m = -6

Then divide m = -1

C. (-1, -4)

Find an equation of the plane. the plane through the point (−5, 9, 10) and perpendicular to the line x = 1 + t, y = 4t, z = 2 −

PtichkaEL [24]

The direction vector of the line
L: x=1+t, y=4t, z=2-3t
is <1,4,-3>
which is also the required normal vector of the plane.

Since the plane passes through point (-5,9,10), the required plane is :
Π 1(x-(-5)+4(y-9)-3(z-10)=0
=>
Π x+4y-3z=1

4. The figure represents a ramp. Find the height of the ramp.

IgorLugansk [536]

Notice that the triangle is a right triangle, because of the right angle. By the Pythagorean Theorem, $a^2+b^2=c^2$ . Then $15^2+b^2=17^2\implies 225+b^2=289\implies b^2=64\implies b=8$ , d. 8 m

A regular hexagon has an area of 750.8 cm. The side length is 17 cm. Find the apothem.

kompoz [17]

Since, a regular hexagon has an area of 750.8 square cm and The side length is 17 cm.

We have to find the apothem of the regular hexagon.

The formula for determining the apothem of regular hexagon is $s \div {{2 \tan (\frac{180}{n})}$ , where 's' is any side length of regular hexagon and 'n' is the number of sides of regular hexagon.
