Alright...simple...showing all steps.. ;)

You have the equations...

2x+y=7
and
3x+5y=14

To be able to even solve for any of the variables...multiply the equations by...2...and..3...

2x+y=7----*3--> 6x+3y=21
and
3x+5y=14-----*2--->6x+10y=28

Thus,

6x+3y=21
-
6x+10y=28

=========

-7y=-7

y=1

Now, plug y back into any of the original equations....we'll use 2x+y=7 in this case....

2x+(1)=7

2x+1=7
      -1  -1

2x=6

x=3

Thus, the point of intersection for these two equations is (3,1)

Answer:

A=72CM^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 72cm^2 because the area of a triangle is h x b divided by two because the triangle is half of a square, since the square is side times side, the answer is 12x12 divided by two, wich is 144/2. The final answer is 72

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (0, 4) and (-8, -1)?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points :

(0, 4) and (-8, -1)

x1 = 0 ; y1 = 4

x2 = - 8 ; y2 = - 1

Slope, m = rise / run

Rise = y2 - y1 = - 1 - 4 = - 5

Rise = x2 - x1 = - 8 - 0 = - 8

The slope, m = - 5 / - 8

Slope, m = 0.625

PLEASE HELP ASAP! NO SCAMS!
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular means that the slopes of the "old" line and the "new" line are opposite reciprocals; bisector means that the "new" line goes directly through the center of the "old" line. This perpendicular bisector, then, will go directly through the center of the "old" line, cutting it directly in half and leaving in its wake a 90 degree angle. To write this equation, then, of the perpendicular bisector, we need the slope of the old line and the midpoint of the old line. Let's work on the midpoint first:

M=(\frac{3+6}{2},\frac{5-7}{2})\\M=(\frac{9}{2},\frac{-2}{2})\\M=(\frac{9}{2},-1) So the "new" line will go through this point.

Onto the slope:

m=\frac{-7-5}{6-3}\\m=\frac{-12}{3}so the slope is

m = -4. That means that the perpendicular slope is

m=\frac{1}{4} Now we're ready to write the equation:

y-5=\frac{1}{4}(x-3) and

y-5=\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{3}{4}\\y=\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{3}{4}+\frac{20}{4} and finally,

y=\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{17}{4}
