Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.

fiasKO [112]

$y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's pick two points on the line: $P_1(-4, 1)$ and $P_2(2, -2).$ Let's calculate the slope of this line using these points:

$m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \dfrac{-2 - 1}{2 - (-4)} = -\dfrac{1}{2}$

With this value of the slope, we can write the general slope-intercept form of the equation as

$y = -\frac{1}{2}x + b$

To solve for the y-intercept b, let's use either P1 or P2. I'm going to use P2:

$-2 = -\frac{1}{2}(2) + b \Rightarrow b = -1$

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the equation is

$y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 1$

Solve the system by the elimination method.

Vika [28.1K]

10x + 2y - 6 = 0

Multiply 5x + y - 3 = 0 by 2

2(5x + y - 3 = 0) = 10x + 2y - 6 = 0

Solve the following equations;-<br><br> x - 9 /√x + 3 =1

fgiga [73]

Answer:

13 , 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

A equation is given to us and we need to find out the value of x . The given equation to us is ,

$\sf\implies \dfrac{ x -9}{\sqrt{x+3}}= 1$

Cross multiply ,

$\sf\implies x - 9 =\sqrt{ x +3}$

Squaring both sides ,

$\sf\implies (x - 9)^2 = x + 3$

Simplify the whole square ,

$\sf\implies x^2+9^2-2.9.x = x +3 \\$

$\sf\implies x^2+81 - 18x = x -3$

Add 3 and subtract x on both sides ,

$\sf\implies x^2 -18x-x +81-3=0$

Simplify ,

$\sf\implies x^2 -19x +78=0$

Split the middle term of the quadratic equation,

$\sf\implies x^2-13x-6x+78=0$

Take out common ,

$\sf\implies x( x -13)-6(x-13)=0$

Take out ( x -13 ) as common ,

$\sf\implies ( x -13)(x-6)=0$

Equate both factors to 0 ,

$\sf\implies \boxed{\pink{\sf x = 13,6}}$

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> of</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>or </u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>.</u>
