(x1,y1) = (-2,7)
m = -5
(x,y) = (a,2)

Forming the equation,
(y-y1) = m(x-x1)
y - 7 = -5[x - (-2)]
y - 7 = -5x - 10
y + 5x = -3

Putting the values of (x,y) we get,
2 + 5a = -3
5a = -5
a = -1

Whats the solution of <br> y = x +2 <br> 2x - 5y = 2
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

x = -4, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute for y

2x - 5(x + 2) = 2

distribute -5

2x -5x - 10 = 2

solve

-3x - 10 = 2

add 10 on both sides

-3x = 12

divide by -3

x = -4

now substitute for x in the equation y = x + 2

y = -4 + 2

y = -2

Find the value of x.<br> 7<br> D<br> 3<br> B В<br> х<br> С<br> X =
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

x = \sqrt{30}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Altitude- on- Hypotenuse theorem

(leg of Δ ABC )² = (part of hypotenuse below it ) × ( whole hypotenuse )

x² = 3 × (3 + 7) = 3 × 10 = 30 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{30}

the price of an article is Marked 25% above the cost price .if it is solid the profit of Rs.500 after allowing 15% discount .wha
gavmur [86]

Answer:

  Rs 8500

Step-by-step explanation:

For a cost price of c, the marked price is ...

  marked = c +25%·c = 1.25c

After the 15% discount, the sale price will be ...

  s = marked -15%·marked = 0.85·marked = (0.85)(1.25c) = 1.0625c

The profit will be the difference between the sale price s and the cost c:

  p = s -c

  500 = (1.0625c) -c = 0.0625c

Then the cost is ...

  500/0.0625 = c = 8000

and the sale price is ...

  s = c +p = 8000 +500 = 8500 . . . rupees

The selling price will be Rs 8500.
