Mathematics

<span>The slope of a line is defined as the rate of change on the vertical axis, divided by the rate of change on the horizontal axis, Δy/Δx. So for a horizontal line, the rate of change on the y axis is zero, this means that it's slope will be 0/Δx and for vertical line, x-axis does not change, which make the denominator 0 Δy/0.</span>

What is the value of x in the equation 2x + 1/2x + 2(1+x) = 29?
erica [24]

Answer:

<h2>x = 6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

2x  +  \frac{1}{2} x + 2(1 + x) = 29

Multiply through by 2

That's

4x + x + 4(1 + x) = 58

<u>Expand</u>

That's

5x + 4 + 4x = 58

9x = 58 - 4

9x = 54

Divide both sides by 9

That's

\frac{9x}{9}  =  \frac{54}{9}

We have the final answer as

<h3>x = 6</h3>

Hope this helps you

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (1, -7) and (-6, -9).
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

y = 2/7 x - 51/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the line

(y-y1)/(y2-y1) = (x-x1)/(x2-x1)

(y-(-7)/(-9-(-7) = (x-1)/(-6-1)

(y+7)/-2 = (x-1)/-7

(-y-7)/2 = (-x+1)/7

-y-7 = -2/7 x + 2/7

-y = -2/7x +2/7 + 7

y = 2/7 x - 2/7 - 7

y = 2/7 x + (-2-49)/7

y = 2/7 x - 51/7

What is the solution to this system of linear equations? 12q + 3r = 15 –4q – 4r = –44 (–18, 29) (–2, 13) (8, –1) (15, –44)
Akimi4 [234]
12q +3r =15    
3(4q +r) = 3*5  
Divide both sides by 3
4q +r = 5
Time for the second one:
-4q -4r = -44  
-4(q +r) = (-4)*11  
Divide both sides by -4
 q +r = 11
4q +r = 5
 q +r = 11
Subtract the second from first equation 
3q 0 = -6
3q = -6
q = -6/3 = -2
q = -2
q +r = 11
-2 +r =11
r = 11 +2 
r = 13 
q = -2
r = 13
Your answer is...
(-2,13)
