Find the solutions to the system of equations. Select all that apply. Y=x^2-1 y=2x-2

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Option C (1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a system with the following equations:

$y = x ^ 2-1\\\\y = 2x-2$

The first equation is a parabola.

The second equation is a straight line

To solve the system, substitute the second equation in the first and solve for x.

$2x-2 = x ^ 2 -1$

Simplify

$x ^ 2-2x + 1 = 0$

You must search for two numbers that when you add them, obtain as a result -2 and multiplying both results in 1.

These numbers are -1 and -1

Therefore

$x ^ 2-2x + 1= (x-1)(x-1)\\\\x ^ 2-2x + 1= (x-1)^2=0$

Finally the solutions are

$x = 1\\y =0$

what’s the slope and y intercept of the loire that is perpendicular to y=-2x-5 and passes through the point (-3,-6)

Doss [256]

Answer:

slope: ½

y-intercept: -4½

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: negative reciprocal of -2

-1/-2 = 1/2

y = ½x + c

-6 = ½(-3) + c

-6 = -3/2 + c

c = -6 + 3/2

c = -9/2 = -4½
