Answer:

x=1 y = -1/2

(1,-1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-2y=8

5x+2y=4

I would use elimination since we have 2y in one equation and -2y in the other

7x-2y=8

5x+2y=4

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

12x = 12

Divide each side by 12

12x/12 = 12/12

x =1

The substitute back into equation 2

5(1) +2y = 4

5 +2y = 4

Subtract 5

5-5+2y = 4-5

2y = -1

Divide by 2

2y/2 = -1/2

y = -1/2

Answer:

The best method is the elimination method. The solution is (1, -1/2).

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 2y = 8

5x + 2y = 4

12x = 12

x = 1

7(1) - 2y = 8

7 - 2y = 8

-2y = 1

y = -1/2

Make sure to write the answer in the form of an ordered pair.

Note: Alternative methods are graphing and the substitution method.

What are two possible transformations that together could have been used to create the red figure from the blue figure?

Id say <em>2 and 3 . </em><em /> It has to reflect off of the Y axis to look like the red figure. Other than that I can't help.

Find the length x and y please

Artemon [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept using the straight-line equation, substitute y=0 and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, substitute x=0 and solve for y.

As you are walking down a path, you see a sign telling the path has a 2% grade (ie., a rise of 2 metres for a horizontal change

Leni [432]

Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given in this question that sign telling path has a 2% grade.

2% grade means a rise of 2 meters for a horizontal change of 100 m (As given in the figure attached).

All the trigonometric ratios for the angle θ between the path and the horizontal are,

Sinθ = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

Cosθ = $\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

tanθ = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

Since measures of the opposite side and adjacent sides are given

Therefore, tangent ratio will be applied to get the measure of the angle,

tanθ = $\frac{2}{100}$

θ = $\text{tan}^{-1}(\frac{2}{100})$

Option (A) will be the answer.

What is the poinet-slope form of the equation for the line in the graph?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

$y -5 = \frac{9}{13}(x - 7)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Two points are given in graph (-6, -4) and {7, 5).

The point-slope form of the equation of a straight line is:

$y -y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})$ ------------(1)

Let $(x_{1}, y_{1})=(7,5)$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})=(-6,-4)$

The slope of the line $m=\frac{y_{2}- y_{1}}{x_{2}- x_{1}}$

Put all known value in above equation.

$m=\frac{-4- 5}{-6- 7}$

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

$m=\frac{9}{13}$

The slope of the line $m=\frac{9}{13}$

We know m, and also know that $(x_{1}, y_{1})=(7,5)$ , so we put these value in equation 1.

$y -5 = \frac{9}{13}(x - 7)$

Therefore, the equation of the line is $y -5 = \frac{9}{13}(x - 7)$ .
