You can solve the pair of equations graphically by finding where the two lines intersect/meet. The point where they intersect is the solution to both of the equations.
Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, or the point where x = 0 ---> (0 , y))
y = 7x - 9
m = 7
y-intercept = -9 -----> (0, -9)
y = 3x - 1
m = 3
y-intercept = -1 ------> (0, -1)
I'm not really sure what the last sentence of the question is asking, so you could clarify the question if you need help
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to find the set of points that will yield a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of Line L because perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. The negative reciprocal of 13/7 is -7/13. Which set of points will produce this result? The formula for finding the slope is:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Consider the second set of coordinates.
(2 - (-5))/(-7 - 6) = (2 + 5)/(-13) = -7/13
The second set of coordinates satisfy the condition.
Answer: 77 seeds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The germination rate for zinnia seeds =78%
Let x be the total number of seeds he planted, then
The seeds germinated= 78% of x
⇒The seeds germinated= 0.78x
If James wants 60 zinnia plants for his yard, then it will give the equation
Hence, he should plant 77 seeds .
The difference between the two equations is the + 3. This means the vertex of the parabola will move 3 units to the left at the point (-3, 0)
The answer is 9
I hope this helped! Have a great day/evening/night! :)
