Find the solution of this system of equations 4x - 5y = -12 -X + 5y = 18

Natalka [10]3 years ago

4x - 5y = -12

-x + 5y = 18

Add the equations together:

4x + -x = 3x

-5y + 5y = 0

-12 + 18 = 6

So now you have:

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 2

Now you have the value of x, replace x with 2 in one of the equations and solve for y:

4(2) -5y = -12

8 -5y = -12

Subtract 8 from both sides:

-5y = -20

Divide both sides by -5:

Y = 4

The solution is x = 2 and y = 4 which is written as (2,4)

Which proportion can be used to show that the slope of AC is equal to the slope of CE?
Gnesinka [82]

Slope is given by the expression:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We can equal both slopes of mAC and mCE

\begin{gathered} \frac{3-6}{-1-(-3)}=\frac{-3-3}{3-(-1)} \\  \\ \frac{-3}{2}=-\frac{6}{4} \\ -\frac{3}{2}=-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}

Answer is B.
