I’m not sure if you want the answer or how to do i’ll just give you both.
multiply the bottom by -4. then it should look like:
8x-6y=-6
-8x+16y=56
then cancel out the x’s and add/subtract the others, giving you: -2y=50. then divide 50 by -2 giving you: y=-25. then find x. plug in y to one of the equations. i usually do the one that hasn’t been messed with. 8x-6(25)=-6. then solve it like a normal two-step equation.
so the answer is: (18,-25)

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line through the points (2,10) and (10,−8).

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The slope formula is the changes of two y-values over/to the changes of two x-values.

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

Substitute two given points in the formula to find the slope. The m-term represents the slope from y = mx+b.

$\large{m = \frac{10 - ( - 8)}{2 - 10} } \\ \large{m = \frac{10 + 8}{ - 8} } \\ \large{ m = \frac{18} { - 8} \longrightarrow \frac{9}{ - 4} } \\ \large \boxed{m = - \frac{9}{4} }$

Answer

The slope is -9/4.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any doubts!

Is the function even odd or neither

Andrei [34K]

Answer: Neither

The function is not even because it doesn't have y axis symmetry. In other words, reflecting it over the vertical y axis means it doesn't line up with itself. The left half is different from the right half.

The function isn't odd either. Why not? Because rotating it 180 degrees around the origin has the function curve looking completely different. A point like (3,6) will rotate to (-3,-6) which is not on the orange curve. This is just one counter-example as to why the function is not odd.
