Answer:

no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given this system of equations:

x+y=3

4y=-4x-4

and we need to solve it (find the point where the lines intersect, as these are linear equations)

let's solve this system by substitution, where we will set one variable equal to an expression containing the other variable, substitute that expression to solve for the variable the expression contains, and then use the value of the solved variable to find the value of the first variable

we'll use the second equation (4y=-4x-4), as there is already only one variable on one side of the equation. Every number is multiplied by 4, so we'll divide both sides by 4

y=-x-1

now we have y set as an expression containing x

substitute -x-1 as y in x+y=3 to solve for x

x+-x-1=3

combine like terms

-1=3

This statement is untrue, meaning that the lines x+y=3 and 4y=-4x-4 won't intersect.

Therefore the answer is no solutions

Hope this helps! :)

The graph below shows the two equations graphed; they are parallel, which means they will never intersect. If they don't intersect, there's no common solution

Remark

At first glance, one would think this problem isn't possible. But if you use the magnifying glass, you see that it is.

Solve

25 carrots puts you somewhere to the left of the shaded area, so C and D are both wrong.

That leaves you with A or B. You need 30 carrots (or just very slightly less) at least to solve this problem. The way to distinguish between A and B is to look at the line that goes from lower right to upper left. When you magnify this graph, you see that at 30 carrots the line or boundary goes through 20 cucumbers. 21 is just very slightly above that and 25 is far above the other line. 21 cucumbers is the only possible right answer for the number of cucumbers. 25 is too high. B is wrong. The answer is A.

evablogger [386]

If Tyler did 32 laps and Kevin did 3 times that amount; its quite simple, you would find three times the amount of Tylers laps which is 96.

What is the equation of the line perpendicular to 3x+y= -8that passes through -3,1? Write your answer in slope-intercept form. S

Gekata [30.6K]

Slope intercept form of a line perpendicular to 3x + y = -8, and passing through (-3,1) is $y=\frac{1}{3} x+2$

Solution:

Need to write equation of line perpendicular to 3x+y = -8 and passes through the point (-3,1).

Generic slope intercept form of a line is given by y = mx + c

where m = slope of the line.

Let's first find slope intercept form of 3x + y = -8

3x + y = -8

=> y = -3x - 8

On comparing above slope intercept form of given equation with generic slope intercept form y = mx + c , we can say that for line 3x + y = -8 , slope m = -3

And as the line passing through (-3,1) and is perpendicular to 3x + y = -8, product of slopes of two line will be -1 as lies are perpendicular.

Let required slope = x

$\begin{array}{l}{=x \times-3=-1} \\\\ {=>x=\frac{-1}{-3}=\frac{1}{3}}\end{array}$

So we need to find the equation of a line whose slope is $\frac{1}{3}$ and passing through (-3,1)

Equation of line passing through $(x_1 , y_1)$ and having lope of m is given by

$\left(y-y_{1}\right)=\mathrm{m}\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

$\text { In our case } x_{1}=-3 \text { and } y_{1}=1 \text { and } \mathrm{m}=\frac{1}{3}$

Substituting the values we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{(\mathrm{y}-1)=\frac{1}{3}(\mathrm{x}-(-3))} \\\\ {=>\mathrm{y}-1=\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{x}+1} \\\\ {=>\mathrm{y}=\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{x}+2}\end{array}$

Hence the required equation of line is found using slope intercept form
