Answer:
B. (-2,-4)
Explanation
Given equations:
y = 3x + 2
y = -2x - 8
Solving both equations will yield the values of x and y;
Solution:
y = 3x + 2 ----- (i)
y = -2x - 8 ------ (ii)
Using substitution method, input equation i, into ii
3x + 2 = -2x - 8
Collect like terms and solve;
3x + 2x = -8 -2
5x = -10
x = -2
Then put x = -2 into i, to find y
y = (-2 x 3) + 2
y = -6 + 2 = -4
So, the solution of the equation is B. (-2,-4)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There's only one correct answer, and you've already responded with that answer.
The equivalent equation is d=17+12.5
it simplifies to d=29.5
Point-slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
(m is the slope, (x₁, y₁) is the point you are given that is on the line)
You know:
m = 5
(x₁, y₁) = (-2, -3) So substitute/plug it into the equation
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - (-3) = 5(x - (-2)) (two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)
y + 3 = 5(x + 2) Your answer is A
