Answer:
second equation :
( 20x² — 2xy — 42y² )
Step-by-step explanation:
expand the two brackets.
Pat attention to the ending of the numbers. If there are an odd amount of odds, it's going to be odd. If there is an even amount of odds, it's going to be even. If there's only evens, it's only going to stay even.
Answer:
3x - y = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
m = deltay/deltax
m = (10 - 1)/[( 1 - (-2)]
m = 9/3 = 3
y = 3x + b
From (-2 | 1) we see that when x = -2, y = 1
Placing into the equation, in order to find b (y-intercept)
y = 3x + b
1 = 3(-2) + b
b = 7
y = 3x + 7 or 3x - y = -7
Siince 2nd equation is already equal a, subsitute b-2 for a in the other equation
b-2-3b=28
-2-2b=28
add 2 to both sides
-2b=30
divide both sides by -2
b=-15
sub back
a=b-2
a=-15-2
a=-17
(a,b)
(-17,-15)
