Answer:

Substitute in the values of both given coordinates & form 2 equations:

\left \{ {{A(2)+B(-1)=1} \atop {A(-3)+B(-2)=1}} \right. \\\\=\left \{ {{2A-B=1} \atop {-3A-2B=1}} \right.

Find the value of B from the equation 2A - B = 1:

2A-B=1\\-B=1-2A\\B=2A-1

Substitute in the B-value to the other equation:

-3A-2B=1\\-3A-2(2A-1)=1\\-3A-4A+2=1\\-7A=1-2\\-7A=-1\\A=\frac{-1}{-7} =\frac{1}{7}

Find the B-value using the equation from before:

B=2A-1=2(\frac{1}{7})-1=\frac{2}{7} -\frac{7}{7} =-\frac{5}{7}  

Therefore the equation Ax + By = 1 would equal:

\frac{1}{7} x-\frac{5}{7} y=1

4 = 3x -x-4<br> I need steps to how to do this​
vesna_86 [32]

Step-by-step explanation:

so first you combine like terms , 3x-x-4=4 turns into 4x-4=4 then u add 4 to both sides [inverse operations]

4x-4=4

+4 +4

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

4x= 8

----------

4. 4

×=2

then u use inverse operations. agian and divide 4 into 8 and you get 2 !! x = 2

Can someone please help me with this geometry homework?
Leno4ka [110]

The distances between the two points, in units, are given as follows:

7. \sqrt{2}

8. 2\sqrt{17}

9. 3\sqrt{2}

10. 3\sqrt{5}

The midpoints are given as follows:

11. (7,-4.5).

12. (2,4).

13. (7,0.5).

14. (5.5,-1.5).

<h3>What is the distance between two points?</h3>

Suppose that we have two points, (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2). The distance between them is given by:

D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

For item 7, the points are (-3,-2) and (-4,-3), hence the distance is:

D = \sqrt{(-4 + 3)^2 + (-3 + 2)^2} = \sqrt{2}

For item 8, the points are (-3,1) and (5,3), hence the distance is:

D = \sqrt{(5 + 3)^2 + (3 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{68} = 2\sqrt{17}

For item 9, the points are (-3,0) and (0,-3), hence the distance is:

D = \sqrt{(0 + 3)^2 + (-3 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt{2}

For item 10, the points are (1,-2) and (4,4), hence the distance is:

D = \sqrt{(4 - 1)^2 + (4 + 2)^2} = \sqrt{45} = 3\sqrt{5}

<h3>What is the midpoint concept?</h3>

The midpoint between two points is the halfway point between them, and is found using the mean of the coordinates.

Hence, for item 11, the midpoint is given by:

[0.5(9 + 5), 0.5(1-10)] = (7,-4.5).

For item 12, the midpoint is given by:

[0.5(-5 + 9), 0.5(7 + 1)] = (2,4).

For item 13, the midpoint is given by:

[0.5(9 + 5), 0.5(9 - 8)] = (7,0.5).

For item 14, the midpoint is given by:

[0.5(10 + 1), 0.5(4 - 7)] = (5.5,-1.5).
