Answer:

<u>XZ = 25</u>

<u>X</u><u>Y = 5</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

XZ = XY + YZ

XZ = (1/5XZ) + 20

XZ - (1/5XZ )= 20

4/5 XZ = 20

5/5 XZ = (20 ÷ 4) × 5

XZ = <u>25</u>

XY = 1/5 × 25

= <u>5</u>

What is the slope of y = -1 + 3x?

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

− 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rewrite the equation as: y = − 3 x + 0 This equation is now in the slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y = m x + b Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept value. For: y = − 3 x + 0 the slope is: m = − 3

Need helpppppppppp please

Adding the two equations
3x + 6y + 3x - 6y = 36+0
6x = 36
x = 6
.
subtracting second equation from first
(3x + 6y ) - (3x-6y) =36 -0
12y = 36
y = 3
.
therefore
x = 6 and y = 3
(6,3)

I need the answer for this exact question

Answer:

$y=\frac{7}{2}x-20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the line be $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ where, 'm' is its slope and $(x_1,y_1)$ is a point on it.

Given:

The equation of a known line is:

$y=-\frac{2}{7}x+9$

A point on the unknown line is:

$(x_1,y_1)=(4,-6)$

Both the lines are perpendicular to each other.

Now, the slope of the known line is given by the coefficient of 'x'. Therefore, the slope of the known line is $m_1=-\frac{2}{7}$

When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is equal to -1.

Therefore,

$m\cdot m_1=-1\\m=-\frac{1}{m_1}\\m=-\frac{1}{\frac{-2}{7} }=\frac{7}{2}$

Therefore, the equation of the unknown line is determined by plugging in all the given values. This gives,

$y-(-6))=\frac{7}{2}(x-4)\\y+6=\frac{7}{2}x-14\\y=\frac{7}{2}x-14-6\\\\y=\frac{7}{2}x-20$

The equation of a line perpendicular to the given line and passing through (4, -6) is $y=\frac{7}{2}x-20$ .
