2x + 6y= 8 4x + 12y = 16

Mathematics

Korolek [52]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

x=0 , y=0

Step-by-step explanation:

2x +6y= 8 .....eqn 1

4x +12y= 16....eqn2

we multiply eqn 1 by 2.. because we want at least one variable to have the same coefficient so we can simply.

2x +6y =8... ×2

will give you 4x +12y = 16....eqn 3

so now we subtract eqn 2 from eqn 3

4x + 12y= 16

- 4x + 12y = 16

_____________

0 + 0 = 0

therefore x = 0 and y= 0

How do I find the y intercept in a fraction

Furkat [3]

ANSWER:

Both functions have the same slope

The linear equation does not have a y-intercept

The table and the grahp express an equivalent function

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

In order to compare, we must calculate the slope of the table, knowing that the equation in its slope and intercept form is the following:

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{where m is the slope and b is y-intercept} \end{gathered}$

The formula to calculate the slope is the following:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The points are (-6, -9/2) and (4,3), replacing:

$m=\frac{3-(-\frac{9}{2})}{4-(-6)}=\frac{3+\frac{9}{2}}{4+6}=\frac{\frac{15}{2}}{10}=\frac{15}{20}=\frac{3}{4}$

The slope is 3/4

Now, for b

x = 4

y = 3

m = 3/4

replacing:

$\begin{gathered} 3=\frac{3}{4}\cdot4+b \\ b=3-3 \\ b=0 \end{gathered}$

The equation is:

$y=\frac{3}{4}x$

Therefore, the true statements are:

• Both functions have the same slope

• The linear equation does not have a y-intercept

• The table and the grahp express an equivalent function
