5x - 2y = 17

4x - 3y = 8

Try to change one of the equations to isolate a variable, so you can use the new equation and substitute it into the other equation.

5x - 2y = 17

-2y = 17 - 5x

y = -17/2 + 5/2x

Now plug this into the second equation

4x - 3(-17/2 + 5/2x) = 8

4x + 51/2 - 15/2x = 8

8/2x - 15/2x = 16/2 - 51/2

-7/2x = -35/2

x = 5

Plug this into either equation to find y

4x - 3y = 8

4(5) - 3y = 8

20 - 3y = 8

-3y = -12

y = 4


x = 5, y = 4

Find the slope of the line that passes through the following points. (-8,-1) (-4,-2)
lana [24]

Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope of a line given two points by using

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (-2- -1)/( -4 - -8)

    = (-2+1)/(-4+8)

     = -1/4

In sunlight, a vertical stick has a height of 5 ft and casts a shadow 3 ft long at the same time that a nearby tree casts a shad
leva [86]
The tree is 25 feet tall. Given the height of the stick and the shadow it cast, the angle formed by the sun and the stick's height can be obtained by taking the Inverse Tangent of 3/5. This is equal to 30.93. This angle is equal to the angle formed by the sun and the tree's height. Using the tangent formula, Tan (30.93)=tree's shadow (15 ft)/ height of the tree, giving the answer 25 feet.
