PLEASE HELP!!!!! What is the value of x in the matrix equation below?
Brums [2.3K]

The given matrix equation is,

1.5\left[\begin{array}{cc}x&6\\8&4\end{array}\right] +y\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&4\\3&2\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right].

Multiplying the matrices with the scalars, the given equation becomes,

\left[\begin{array}{cc}1.5x&9\\12&6\end{array}\right] +\left[\begin{array}{cc}y&4y\\3y&2y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right]  \\

Adding the matrices,

\left[\begin{array}{cc}1.5x+y&9+4y\\12+3y&6+2y\end{array}\right]  =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right]  \\

Matrix equality gives,

1.5x+y=z\\ 9+4y=z\\ 12+3y=6z\\ 6+2y=2

Solving the equations together,

y=-2\\ 3y-1.5x=9\\ -1.5x=9+6\\ x=-10

We can see that the equations are not consistent.

There is no solution.

On a coordinate plane, a line has points (negative 2, negative 4) and (4, 2). Point P is at (0, 4). Which points lie on the line
NikAS [45]

Answer:

the correct options are:

(–1, 3),  (–2, 2) and (–5, –1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a line passes through two points

A(-2, -4) and B(4, 2)

Another point P(0, 4)

To find:

Which points lie on the line that passes through P and is parallel to line AB ?

Solution:

First of all, let us the find the equation of the line which is parallel to AB and passes through point P.

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Slope of a line is given as:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\dfrac{2-(-4)}{4-(-2)} = 1

Now, using slope intercept form (y = mx+c) of a line, we can write the equation of line parallel to AB:

y =(1)x+c \Rightarrow y = x+c

Now, putting the point P(0,4) to find c:

4 = 0 +c \Rightarrow c = 4

So, the equation is \bold{y=x+4}

So, the coordinates given in the options which have value of y coordinate equal to 4 greater than x coordinate will be true.

So, the correct options are:

(–1, 3),  (–2, 2) and (–5, –1)
