Explain why the intercepts, on their own, cannot be used to graph the relation 5x+9y= 0.

1 answer:

3 0

5x + 9y = 0

to find the x int, sub in 0 for y and solve for x
5x + 9(0) = 0
5x = 0
x = 0

to find the y int, sub in 0 for x and solve for y
5(0) + 9y = 0
9y = 0
y = 0

the reason u cannot use just the intercepts is because the line goes through the origin (0,0)....The intercepts coincide giving u only 1 point...and that is not enough to graph a line

Is -2/3(12b - 6 + 9b - 18) equivalent to 2b(b + 8)? Show your work.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

No, they are not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{-2}{3}(12b - 6 + 9b - 18) = \frac{-2}{3}(12b + 9b - 6 - 18)\\\\=\frac{-2}{3}(21b - 24)\\\\ = \frac{-2}{3}*21b -24*\frac{-2}{3}\\\\= -2*7b + 8*2\\\\= 2( -7b + 8)$
