Let first number = X and 2nd number = Y

Equation 1: 5X + 8Y = -13

Equation 2: 5X + 10Y = -15

Multiply equation 1 by -1 to get: -5X + -8Y = 13

Now add the 2 equations together:
-5X + 5X = 0

-8Y + 10Y = 2Y

13 + -15 = -2

The total of the 2 equations is 2Y = -2

divide both sides by 2 to solve for Y
Y = -2 / 2
Y = -1
 Now we know the 2nd number is -1, so replace Y in the 1st equation and solve for X

5X +8(-1) = -13

5x + -8 = -13

Add 8 to both sides:
5x = -5

Divide both sides by 5 to get x

X = -5 / 5
X = -1

Both numbers are -1

To check replace X and Y with -1 and solve:

1st equation: 5(-1) +8(-1) = -5 + -8 = -13  TRUE

2nd equation: 5(-1) +10(-1) = -5 + -10 = -15 TRUE

Both numbers are -1

1st number be x, 2nd number be y

Adding 5 times the first number and 8 times the second number gives a total of -13

so 5x+8y=-13

Adding 5 times the first number and 10 times the second number gives -15

so 5x+10y=-15

subtracting the above two eqns

(5x+8y)-(5x+10y) = -13-(-15)

-2y=2

y=-1

put back in first eqn 5x+8(-1)=-13

5x=-5

x=-1

A table shows a proportional relationship where k is the constant of proportionality. the rows are then switched. how does the n
madam [21]
They relate because the original constant of proportionality is a unite rate. Then the flipped constant of proportionality would not be a unit rate. It's basically the reciprocal of the original constant of proportionality or K.

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 5) and (0, –4)?
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

<h3>a) 9/2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (2, 5) and (0, -4). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{-4-5}{0-2}=\dfrac{-9}{-2}=\dfrac{9}{2}
