Answer:
The solution is (2, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this, multiply the second equation by -5 and then add through.
5x - 4y = 18
-5x - 15y = 20
------------------
-19y = 38
y = -2
Now that we have the value of y, we can solve for x.
x + 3y = -4
x + 3(-2) = -4
x - 6 = -4
x = 2
Answer:
the price was reduced by 28%
A point that bisects a segment would be its midpoint. This is a case where the vocabulary (bisect as opposed to midpoint) makes it harder.
To find the midpoint, we use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula is:
midpoint = (x₁ + x₂/2, y₁ + y/2). To find it, you add the x coordinates and then divide them by 2. Repeat for the y coordinates.
x: (-2 + 6)/2 = 4/2 = 2
y: (5 +1)/2 = 6/2 = 3
Thus the point B bisecting AC is at (2, 3).
