Answer:

x = 2, y = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5y = 9

3x + 4y = 2

Multiply first equation by -3 and the second by 2:

-6x + 15y = -27

6x + 8y = 4 Adding the 2 equations:

23y = -23

y = -1.

Now substitute this value for y in the first equation:

2x - 5(-1) = 9

2x = 9 +5(-1)

2x = 9 - 5

2x = 4

x = 2.

What is the slope of the line that asses through these two points? (1, -2) (3, 4)

dusya [7]

$(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{4}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{4}-\stackrel{y1}{(-2)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{1}}}\implies \cfrac{4+2}{2}\implies \cfrac{6}{2}\implies 3$

Answer a, b and c. See image below

dlinn [17]

Answer:

a) 3/5 < 4/5

b) In general if two fractions have the same denominator, then whichever fraction has the numerator closer to its denominator will be the largest fraction.

c) $\frac{7}{10} > \frac{9}{15}$ or $\frac{7}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 3/5 < 4/5

Flip the sign and the placement of the fraction so 3/5 is less then 4/5.

b) In general if two fractions have the same denominator, then whichever fraction has the numerator closer to its denominator will be the largest fraction.

c) We need to change the denominators to a common denominator to compare the size of the two fractions:

$\frac{7}{10}$ × $\frac{3}{3}$ = $\frac{21}{30}$
