<u>ANSWER</u>
A. (4,12)
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The equations are:
and
To eliminate a variable we make the coefficients of that variable the same in both equations.
It is easier to eliminate x.
We multiply the first equation by 2 to get:
We add equations (2) and (3).
Divide both sides by 23
Put x=4 into equation (1).
The solution is (4,12)
To complete this equation, it is vital to know the slope. To find the slope using points, you subtract the first x from the second, and the first y from the second. This gives you a slope of 4. Then, you must follow point-slope form and choose one of the order pairs to use. You then write y then the negative of your number. Since the number is already negative, you turn it into a positive. On the other side of the "=" sign, you write your slope, 4 distributing to x. Then you write the negative of your x value. Since it is already negative, it turns into a positive. This gives you a final answer of y+1=4(x+2). I realize that this doesn't line up with your fill-in-the-blank answer, so I am sorry if it doesn't work.
The length of the trail is 98.5 KM, all you need to do is divide the total distance by the number of times she went on it.
Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer must have a negative slope because the graph is decreasing.
The y-intercept is 10. The equation must have +10 at the end.
y = -3x + 10
