9/18 so 1/2 i think hope this helps
12x - 8y = -12
6x + 4y = -30
Multiply the 2nd equation by 2, to make the Y coefficients opposite:
6x + 4y = -30 x 2 = 12x + 8y = -60
Now add the two equations:
12x -8y = -12 + 12x +8y = -60
= 24x = -72
Divide bothe sides by 24 to solve for x:
x = -72/24
x = -3
Now replace x with -3 in the first equation to solve for y:
12(-3) - 8y = -12
-36 - 8y = -12
Add 36 to each side:
-8y = 24
Divide both sides by -8 to solve for y:
y = 24 / -8
y = -3
X = -3 and y = -3
(-3,-3)
Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The slope will be 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sine the lines are perpendicular, the slope of the green line will be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the red line. To find the negative reciprocal of -2, first change the sign. Since the slope is negative, make it positive 2. Then to find it's reciprocal, divide 1 by your answer. 1 divided by 2 is one half, s that is your answer.
