Answer:

y = 1, x = - 8

(-8, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + 4y = 12

x + y = -7

add the equations together

0x + 5y = 5

5y = 5

y = 1

substitute y for 1 in one of the original equations to find x

x + y = -7

x + 1 = -7

x + 1 - 1 = - 7 - 1

x = - 7 - 1

x = -8

Which is the equation of the graph

oksano4ka [1.4K]

I'm guessing the last value you have down there that got cut off was the one we want. We need to set up the general form of the absolute value equation and then solve it for a: $y=a[x-h]+k$ . I have no absolute value symbols so I just used brackets. We have a vertex (h, k) of (0, 0) and I picked a point on the graph to use as my x and y coordinates (4, 3). Let's fill in the equation now: $0=a[0-4]+3$ . We will subtract 3 from both sides leaving -3 = a[-4]. The absolute value of -4 is 4 so now we have -3 = 4a. Divide by 4 to solve for a. $a=- \frac{3}{4}$ . So our equation is $y=- \frac{3}{4}[x]$

An artist wants to reduce the size of a drawing using a scale factor of 3:13:1 . The original drawing has an area of 720 square

Wewaii [24]

When shrinking an image, the size of each side is shrunk by the scale factor. However the area is not shrunk by the same factor. Area is a squared measurement (when finding the area of a rectangle we take length x width; two measurements, so a squared answer), so the area will be shrunk by the scale factor squared; in this case the area is shrunk by 3² or 9. This means the new area would be 720/9 or 80 square inches.
