3 0

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total Number of scorings (both Teams) = 18

Let :

x = number of 5 point score ; y = number of 2 point score

Total points scored = 34 + 29 = 63

x + y = 18 - - - (1)

5x + 2y = 63 - - (2)

From (1)

y = 18 - x

In (2) ; we have ;

5x + 2(18 - x) = 63

5x + 36 - 2x = 63

3x + 36 = 63

3x = 63 - 36

3x = 27

x = 9

9 5-point plays

What is the equation of the line passing through ( -5, -3 ) and perpendicular
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

y = 7/5x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

use the slope from the equation -5/7 and take the negative reciprocal to get the perpendicular slope = 7/5. Then use the equation y=mx+b. Plug in x and y from the point given and the new slope and solve for b.

(-3) = (7/5)(-5) + b, (-3) = -7 + b, add 7 to both sides. b = 4. Rewrite the equation now to be y = 7/5x + 4
