<u>We know that:</u>
Slope of a line = change in y coordinate / change in x coordinate
<u>We are given:</u>
First point = (2,5)
Second point = (5, 14)
<u>Calculating the change in y coordinate:</u>
change in y (also represented by Δy) = second y - first y
Δy = 14 - 5
Δy = 9
<u>Calculating the change in x coordinate:</u>
Δx = second x - first x
Δx = 5 - 2
Δx = 3
<u>Slope of the line:</u>
Slope = (Δy) / (Δx)
Slope = 9 / 3 [replacing the values]
Slope = 3
If you would like to solve 2x + 5y = - 13 and 3x - 4y = -8, you can do this using the following steps:
<span>2x + 5y = -13 /*4
3x - 4y = -8 /*5
</span>_________________
8x + 20y = -52
15x - 20y = -40
_________________
8x + 15x + 20y - 20y = -52 - 40
23x = -92 /23
x = -92 / 23
x = -4
<span>2x + 5y = -13
</span>2 * (-4) + 5y = -13
-8 + 5y = -13
5y = -13 + 8
5y = -5
y = -1
(x, y) = (-4, -1)
The correct result would be D.) <span>(-4, -1).</span>
He sold one half of the pie because if you do it in your head split one half into 3 and get one sixth, then that slit in two is 1 twelfth so if he sold six pieces and six is one half of twelve then you get one half.
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation is -5^2-4
this is because we substitute the variables for the numbers given!
