Answer:

The solution is x = -2, y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with the equation 3x + y = -9

Substitute the y for 5x+7 seen in the second equation

Now you have 3x + (5x+7) = -9

Lets solve:

Let's add the x's

Now we have 8x + 7 = -9

Substracy seven from each side

Now we have 8x = -16

Now let's divide 8 on each side

Now we have x = -2

Now lets plug in -2 to the second equation

The second equation is y = 5x+7

When we plug in -2 we get y=5(-2)+7

We multiply

We now have y = -10+7

Add

y = -3

The solution is x = -2, y = -3

Misty correctly determined the equation of the linear function represented by the table of values below to be y = negative 2 x +

olasank [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + c

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

using (1 , 7) & (2,5)

y2 = 5 y1 = 7 so y2 -y1 = -2

x2 = 2 x1 = 1 so x2 - x1 = 1

m - -2/1 = -2

y = -2x + c

when x =1 y = 7

so 7 = -2 + c

=> c =9

y = -2x + 9

if ordered pairs (2, 5) and (4, 1) used

m = (1-5)/(4-2)

=> m = -4/2

=> m = -2

y = -2x + c

for x =2 y =5

5 = -2*2 + c

=> c = 9

y = -2x + 9

she would have got same equation

Which table represents of a linear function?

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

X | Y

2 | 7

4 | 9 <-- linear.

6 | 11

8 | 13

A linear function is when there is an even consonant decline or up-rise.

X | Y

1 | 2

2 | 4 <-- also linear.

3 | 6

What is the length of arc S shown below? Enter an exact expression.

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

S = 15π = 47.12

length of arc S = 15π

Attached is the image of the arc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Radius arc r = 10

Angle at the center of arc ⍉ = 3π/2

The length of the arc S can be derived using the formula;

S = r × ⍉

Substituting the values;

S = 10 × 3π/2

S = 30π/2

S = 15π = 47.12

length of arc S = 15π
