You can plug -x - 1 for y in the first equation

2x - (-x - 1) = 10

2x + x + 1 = 10

Combine

3x = 9

Divide

x = 3

Plug 3 for x in any equation ( I'll use th second equation )

y = - (3) - 1

y = - 3 - 1 = -4

x = 3 ; y = -4

(3, -4)

2x - y = 10 .............(a)

y = -x - 1 ...........(b)

Substitute y = - x - 1 into equation (a)

<span>2x - y = 10
</span>
2x - (-x - 1) = 10

2x + x + 1 = 10

3x + 1 = 10

3x = 10 - 1

3x = 9

x = 9/3 = 3. x = 3

Recall, y = -x - 1 = -3 - 1 = -4

Hence solution (x, y) = (3, -4)

Find the equation of the line.

Answer:

y=-1/3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, lets outline that parallel lines have the <u>Same Slope</u>. So we can plug in -1/3 as our slope, or m.

Lets plug in -1/3 as our slope in Point Slope form to find the y intercept. Point slope form should be attached in an image below.

1) Plug slope and points into point slope form:

y+1=-1/3(x+3)

2) Distribute -1/3 to x and 3:

y+1=-1/3x-1

3) Subtract 1 from both sides:

y=-1/3x-2

Now we have our answer is slope intercept form!

Suppose P(E) = 81%; P(E and F) = 9%; and P(E or F) = 65%,

PIT_PIT [208]

Using Venn probabilities, it is found that P(F) = -0.07, which is not a probability, as it is a negative value.

------------------

We have two events, E and F.
Their probabilities are: $P(E) = 0.81, P(E \cap F) = 0.09, P(E \cup F) = 0.65$
The probabilities are related by the following equation:
