Answer:

when x = 3 1/3, y = 4.5

or

when x =3 , y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to solve using substitution

xy = 15

let x = 15/y

Put this into the first equation;

3(15/y) + 2y = 19

45/y + 2y = 19

Multiply through by y

45 + 2y^2 = 19y

2y^2 -19y + 45 = 0

2y^2 - 10y - 9y + 45 = 0

2y(y-5) -9(y-5) = 0

(2y-9)(y-5) = 0

2y-9 = 0

or y-5 = 0

2y = 9 or y = 5

y = 9/2 or y = 5

y = 4.5 or y = 5

Recall;

x = 15/y

x = 15/4.5 or x = 15/5

x = 3 1/3 or x = 3

Find the equation of the line between the points (10, – 5) and ( - 2,0).
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer <u>(assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:

y = -\frac{5}{12} x-\frac{5}{6}  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line between the two points by using the slope formula, m  = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

m = \frac{(0)-(-5)}{(-2)-(10)} \\m = \frac{0+5}{-2-10} \\m=\frac{5}{-12}

Thus, the slope of the line is -\frac{5}{12}.

2) Next, use the point-slope formula y-y_1 = m (x-x_1) to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute values for m, x_1, and y_1 in the formula.

Since m represents the slope, substitute -\frac{5}{12} in its place. Since x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any of the given points (it doesn't matter which one, it will equal the same thing) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (-2,0), as seen below.) Then, isolate y and expand the right side in the resulting equation to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:

y-(0)=-\frac{5}{12} (x-(-2))\\y-0 = -\frac{5}{12} (x+2)\\y = -\frac{5}{12} x-\frac{5}{6}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only 5 solutions:

x=-1

x=-1/3

x=0

x=1

x=8/3

See the graph

In blue: y=[x]²
