Hi there!
To solve this problem using substitution, we need to set x equal to a value and substitute it into the other equation.
Since
x - 4y = 5,
x = 5 + 4y
3x - 7y = 10
3(5 + 4y) - 7y = 10
15 + 12y - 7y = 10
15 + 5y = 10
5y = -5
y = -1
Now that we know y is -1, we can substitute it back into the equation to find x:
y = -1
x - 4y = 5
x - 4(-1) = 5
x - (-4) = 5
x + 4 = 5
x = 1
So, your answers are x = 1 and y = -1.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
18.5 in=decimal feet,
Step-by-step explanation:
1)18.5/12=18.512
2)18.512=1.542 feet
First, figure out the slope of the line by solving for the slope between the two given coordinates.
Slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
Substitute the coordinates.
Slope = 2 - (-4) / 2 - (-1)
Slope = 2 + 4 / 2 + 1
Slope = 6 / 3
Slope = 2
So, the slope of the equation here is 2.
Next, look for the y-intercept. You can find the y-intercept by looking on the graph. At what coordinate does the line intersect or cross the y-axis? By looking at the graph, you can see that the line intersects the y-axis at the coordinate point (0, -2). So, your y-interceot is -2.
Now, choose the equation that has a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of -2.
Remember that the standard form of any given linear equation should be in slope-intercept form.
y = mx + b
Substitute the slope and y-intercept
y = 2x - 2
By doing this, you can eliminate choices 1 and 4 because the equation should have 2x to represent the slope of 2.
The best choice is 2x - y = 2.
You have a slope of 2x and if the equation is put in standard form you would have a y-intercept of -2.
Solution: 2x - y = 2
90º (-270º): (x,y) ---> (y, -x)
180º (-180º): (x, y) ---> (-x, -y)
270º (-90º): (x,y) ---> (-y, x)
