Answer:

  6, 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent one of the numbers. Then the other number is 15-x (because their sum is 15). The relation between the numbers is ...

  2x -3 = 15 -x . . . . . three less than twice one number is the other number

  3x = 18 . . . . . . add 3+x

  x = 6 . . . . . . divide by 3

  15-x = 9 . . . . find the other number

The two numbers are 6 and 9.

Consider the trianglular region with vertices (0,0) (6,0) and (0,6). find the x and y coordinates of the centroid
kondor19780726 [428]
Let A=(0,0)(x₁,x₂), B=(6,0)(x₂,y₂) and C=(0,6)(x₃,y₃)

Centroid of ΔABC is given by,

G(x,y) = [x₁+x₂+x₃/3 , y₁+y₂+y₃/3] = [0+6+0/3 , 0+0+6/3] = [2,2]

For each situation below, write the equation of the line and explain how you can tell.
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Has a slope of 2 and passes through (10,17)

Using the slope intercept form

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 2x+b

Substitute the point into the equation

17 = 2(10)+b

17 = 20+b

Subtract 20 from each side

17-20 =b

-3 =b

y = 2x-3

b. passes through (1,-4) and (2,-5)

First find the slope

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (-5- -4)/(2-1)

  = (-5+4)/(2-1)

  = -1/1

  = -1

Using the slope intercept form

y = -x+b

Substitute a point into the equation

-4 = -1(1) +b

-4 = -1+b

Add 1 to each side

-3 = b

y = -x+3
