Answer:

x = 4

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, reorder the first equation to make it into the same format as the second equation:

y = 2x - 5

-2x + y = -5

Then, put the equations together:

-2x + y = -5

x + y = 7

Solve by elimination by multiplying the bottom equation by 2, then add the equations together and solve for y:

-2x + y = -5

2x + 2y = 14

3y = 9

y = 3

Then, plug in 3 as y into one of the equations to solve for x:

y = 2x - 5

3 = 2x - 5

8 = 2x

4 = x

So, the answer is x = 4 and y = 3

What is the abscissa of the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (5√2,2√3) and (√2,2√3)

xxMikexx [17]

Let
A------> (5√2,2√3)
B------> (√2,2√3)

we know that
the abscissa and the ordinate are respectively the first and second coordinate of a point in a coordinate system
the abscissa is the coordinate x

step 1
find the midpoint
ABx------> midpoint AB in the coordinate x
ABy------> midpoint AB in the coordinate y

ABx=[5√2+√2]/2------> 6√2/2-----> 3√2
ABy=[2√3+2√3]/2------> 4√3/2-----> 2√3

the midpoint AB is (3√2,2√3)

the answer is
the abscissa of the midpoint of the line segment is 3√2

Determine which lines, if any, are parallel or perpendicular. Explain.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

line a and b are parallel, there is no perpendicular lines

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the slope of each line, you can identify whether the lines are parallel, perpendicularlar, or neither.

When the slopes are the same, they are parallel.

When the slopes have opposite sign and numerator and denominator flipped, they are perpendicular. Ex. $\frac{a}{b}$ and $-\frac{b}{a}$ are perpendicular slopes.
