Answer: 2a+3b=12

b=(12-2a)/3

5a-b=13

b= -13+5a

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 2a+3b=12

-2a -2a

3b=12-2a

/3 /3

b= (12-2a)/3

2) 5a-b=13

-5a -5a

-b=13-5a

*-1 *-1 -b= 13(-1)-5a(-1) *you'd multiply by -1 to cancel out the negative on b*

b= -13+5a

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, -9) and (5, 3)

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from (-4, -9) to (5, 3), x (the 'run') increases by 9 from -4 to 5, and y (the 'rise') increases by 12 from -9 to +3. Thus, the slope of the line connecting the two points is

m = rise / run = 12/9 = 4/3

It may help to think of the change in x (9) as the horizontal leg of a right triangle and the change in y (12) as the vertical leg. Then

m = (vertical leg length) / (horizontal leg length) = 12/9 = 4/3

Please assist me with this problem

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

d. about 50 times larger

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expressions for magnitude (M) can be solved for the intensity (I). Then the ratio of intensities is ...

$\dfrac{I_2}{I_1}=\dfrac{I_0\cdot 10^{M_2}}{I_0\cdot 10^{M_1}}=10^{M_2-M_1}=10^{4.2-2.5}\\\\=10^{1.7}\approx 50$

The larger earthquake had about 50 times the intensity of the smaller one.

Consider m = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1 . Which x1 and x2-values would determine that the line is vertical? Justify your answer

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

$x_2=x_1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given the slope formula;

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

This line is vertical if the denominator is zero.

That is when $x_2-x-1=0$

This implies that;

$x_2=x_1$

Justification;

When $x_2=x_1$ , then, the line passes through;

$(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_1,y_2)$

The slope now become

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_1-x_1}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{0}$

The equation of the line is

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{0}(x-x_1)$

This implies that;

$0(y-y_1)=(y_2-y_1)(x-x_1)$

$0=(y_2-y_1)(x-x_1)$

$\frac{0}{y_2-y_1}=(x-x_1)$

$0=(x-x_1)$

$x=x_1$ ... This is the equation of a vertical line.
