A line passes through the point (-3, -3) and has a slope of 1/2 What is the equation of the line?

1 answer:

3 0

Y-y1=m(x-x1)
(x1,y1) is a given point
m=slope
y-(-3)=1/2(x-(-3))
y+3=1/2(x+3) is an equation

2x+3y=6
x+y=4
multiply second equation by -2 and add to first

2x+3y=6
<u>-2x-2y=-8 +</u>
0x+1y=-2

y=-2
sub back

x+y=4
x-2=4
add 2
x=6

x=6
y=-2
(6,-2)

Simultaneous equations 5x+y=28 x+y=2

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x + y = 28$

$x + y = 8$

Solve the equation for y by moving 'x' to R.H.S and changing its sign

$5x + y = 28$

$y = 2 - x$

Substitute the given value of y into the equation 5x + y = 28

$5x + 2 - x = 28$

Solve the equation for x

Collect like terms

$4x + 2 = 28$

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

$4x = 28 - 2$

Subtract the numbers

$4x = 26$

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{26}{4}$

Calculate

$x = \frac{26}{4}$

Reduce the numbers with 2

$x = \frac{13}{2}$

Now, substitute the given value of x into the equation y = 2 - x

$y = 2 - \frac{13}{2}$

Solve the equation for y

$y = - \frac{9}{2}$

The possible solution of the system is the ordered pair ( x , y )

-------------------------------------------------------------

Let's check if the given ordered pair is the solution of the system of equation:

plug the value of x and y in both equation

$5 \times \frac{13}{2} - \frac{9}{2} = 28$

$\frac{13}{2} - \frac{9}{2} = 2$

Simplify the equalities

$28 = 28$

$2 = 2$

Since , all of the equalities are true, the ordered pair is the solution of the system.

$(x \:, y \: ) = ( \frac{13}{2} \: , - \frac{9}{2})$

Hope this helps....

Best regards!!

Find the compound interest on ₹ 31,250 at 12% pa for 2 1/2 years

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

42,183

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the Continuous Compounding Interest since a regular interval was not stated.

P(t) = Pe^(rt)

We will plug in the variables to the formula

P(t) = 31250 * e^(.12 * 2.5)

We can simplify and evaluate the compound interest.

P(t) = 42183.08
