We are given the equation of the line:

<span>2x – 3y = 12

The intercepts of the line represents the point when one of the variable is set to zero or it is the point where the line intersects to the x and y axis.

To find for the x-intercept, we set y to 0:
</span>
<span>2x – 3(0) = 12
</span>x = 6

<span>To find for the y-intercept, we set x to 0:
</span><span>2(0) – 3y = 12
</span>y = - 4

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

9 – 2k = 25 what is k
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

k = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 9 from both sides to get the constants on one side and the variables on the other

9 - 2k = 25

- 2k = 25 - 9

Simplify

- 2k = 16

Divide by -2 on both sides to isolate the variable, then simplify once more.

- 2k/ -2 = 16/ -2

k = 16/ -2

k = -8

25 POINTS
Semenov [28]

If the slope of AB = CD and BC = AD it's a parallelogram:

Slope of AB = 6+1 / -9+5 = -7/4

CD = -2-5 / 3+1 = -74

These are equal.

BC = 5-6 / -1 +9 = -1/8

AD = -2 +1 / 3+5 = -1/8

These are also equal so it is a parallelogram.

Now to find if the diagonals are perpendicular find the slope of the perpensicular points:

AC = 5 +1 / -1 +5 = 6/4 = 3/2

BD = 6+2 / -9 -3 = 8/-12 = -2/3

Because BD is the reciprocal of AC, this means they are perpendicular.

And because AB is not perpendicular to AD ( AB and AD are not reciprocals) it is a rhombus.

Solve the system by elimination <br> 2x+6y= -12 <br> 5x-5y= -10
kvv77 [185]
First thing you should do is reduce coefficients.

1st equation has all multiples of '2'. Divide by 2
---> x +3y = -6

2nd equation has multiples of 5. Divide by 5.
---> x - y = 2

Now elimination part is easier. 
Eliminate 'x' variable by subtracting 2nd equation from 1st.

   x + 3y = -6
-(x  - y = 2)
----------------------
       4y  = -8

Solve for 'y'
4y = -8

y = (-8)/4 = -2


Substitute value for 'y' back into 2nd equation:
x - (-2) = 2
x + 2 = 2
x = 0

Solution to system is:
x=0, y =-2
