So basically here is the answer mate!
2x + 7y = 3-------------------------(substitute x's value here, i.e., x = -4y)
2( -4y ) + 7y = 3
-8y + 7y = 3
-1y = 3
y = -3------------------------( 1 )
Since x = -4y
= -4 ( -3 ) --------------------------( since we found the value of y)
= 12
Here is the answer for x = 12 , y = -3
Mark my anwer as the brainliest please ! :)
Answer: -2/7
This value is a fraction.
----------------------------------
Work Shown:
The first two rows in the table produce these two points (x1,y1) = (-14,8) and (x2,y2) = (-7,6)
So, x1=-14, y1=8, x2=-7, and y2=6
Plug these four values into the slope formula and simplify
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (6 - 8)/(-7 - (-14))
m = (6 - 8)/(-7 + 14)
m = -2/7
I'm not sure about the given data but I plotted the scatter plot based on what I understand on how the data should be presented.
Time (years)
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
Number of participants(x1000)
22, 25, 28, 14, 17, 20,15, 9
Attached is the scatter plot created online.
x = time (years)
y = number of participants
The multiplicative inverse of a number is the number when you multiply it, it gives you the product of 1.
So for - 27, what number will give us 1 when we multiply it by -27
-27 * -1/27 = 1
So the multiplicative inverse of -27 = -1/27
7/9 * 9/7 = 1
-9/16 * -16/9 = 1
So in essence, just take the number and flip it
-27 = -1 / 27
7/9 = 9/7
-9/16 = -16/9
