Answer:

A. (2, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a coordinates plane then

coordinates of the midpoint is given by (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2

__________________________________________________

Given

one endpoint is (–6, 4) and midpoint is (–2, 7)

let coordinates of other endpoint be (x,y)

now if one endpoint is (–6, 4) and other endpoint is (x,y)

then coordinates of midpoint is ((-6+x)/2 , (4+y)/2)

while the coordinates of midpoint given  is  (–2, 7)

thus (–2, 7) should be equal to ((-6+x)/2 , (4+y)/2)

-2 = (-6+x)/2             and   7 = (4+y)/2

=> -2*2 = -6+x                 => 7*2 = 4+y

=> -4 = -6+x                    => 14 = 4+y

=> -4+6 = x                     => 14-4 = y

=> x = 2                           => 10 = y

Thus, coordinates of the other endpoint is(2,10)

Find the slope and y intercept of the graph of the graph of each equation.
AleksandrR [38]
Solve each equation for y and then the slope is m and y-intercept is b as in:
y = mx+b

So, if you do that, you'll get (remember, this is <em>after</em> solving for y):
1. m = -6, b = -2
2. m = 5, b = -1
3. m = -5/3, b = 5
4. m = 0, b = -1/4
5. m = -1, b = -3
6. m = 3, b = -4
7. m = 1/2, b = -5/2
8. m = 7/2, b = 1

Hope this helps.

1) What is the solution of the given system?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

1  x=-2.5  y = -5.5

2.  x=5  y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) What is the solution of the given system?

5x-y=-7

3x-y=-2

Multiply the second equation by -1

-1*(3x-y)=-1(-2)

-3x +y = 2


Now add the first equation to the modified second equation

5x-y=-7

-3x +y = 2

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

2x = -5

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = -5/2

x = -2.5

Now we need to find y

-3x+y =2

-3(-2.5) +y =2

7.5 +y =2

Subtract 7.5 from each side

7.5 -7.5 +y =2-7.5

y = -5.5


2) what is the solution of the given system?

5x+7y=32

8x+6y=46

Divide the second equation by 2

8x/2+6y/2=46/2

4x+3y =23


Multiply the first equation by 4

4 (5x+7y)=32*4

20x+28y = 128


Now multiply the modified 2nd equation by -5

-5(4x+3y )=-5(23 )

-20x -15y = -115


Lets add the new equations together to eliminate x

20x+28y = 128

-20x -15y = -115

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

      13y = 13

Divide each side by 13

13y/13 =13/13

y=1

Now substitute back in to find x

5x+7y=32

5x +7(1) =32

5x +7 =32

Subtract 7 from each side

5x+7-7 =32-7

5x =25

Divide by 5

5x/5 =25/5

x=5
