Answer:
(-2, -3)
(3, 12)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we're gonna get rid of the y's with substitution
x² + 2x - 3 = 3x + 3
Let's make this equation equal to zero
Subtract 3 from both sides
x² + 2x - 3 = 3x + 3
- 3 - 3
x² + 2x - 6 = 3x
Subtract 3x from both sides
x² + 2x - 6 = 3x
- 3x - 3x
x² - x - 6 = 0
Factor the equation
(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0
This means x can be -2 or 3
Let's solve it with -2 first, plug the new x in y = 3x + 3
y = 3(-2) + 3
y = -6 + 3 = -3
Do the same for x = 3
y = 3(3) + 3
y = 9 + 3 = 12
What do the places mean? I’d say the signs are negative since both values are (-3) and (-5), but i don’t know what you mean by placed - if they were placed in a number line, it would go 3 and 5 values left or down.
Coordinates are written in the form (x,y), x being a certain length along the horizontal x axis and y being a certain height along the vertical y axis. Positive y numbers are in the top half of the plane and negative y numbers are on the bottom. Positive x numbers are on the right side of the plane and negative x numbers are on the left. Therefore, (3,-7) would be 3 across to the right from the origin (where the x and y axes intersect) at (3,0) and 7 downwards from that point to (3,-7).
The answer is A. Good luck man!! :)
