The point slope formula:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$(2,\ -3)\to x_1=2,\ y_1=-3\\(4,\ 2)\to x_2=4,\ y_2=2$

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{2-(-3)}{4-2}=\dfrac{5}{2}=2.5\\\\y-(-3)=2.5(x-2)\\\\y+3=2.5x-5\ \ \ \ |+5\\\\y+8=2.5x\ \ \ \ \ \ |-y\\\\2.5x-y=8\ \ \ \ \ |\cdot2\\\\\boxed{5x-2y=16}$

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

24 + 6k < -6(-4-k)

Distribute

24+6k< 24 +6k

Subtract 6k from each side

24 < 24

This is never true so there are no solutions

The sum of the measures of angle x and y is 90. If the measures of angle x is 30 less than twice the measures of angle y what is

svp [43]

First set up your two equations:

x + y = 90

x = 2y - 30

Then substitute what x equals in the second equation into the first equation:

(2y -30) + y = 90

Now solve for y:

3y -30 = 90
3y = 120
y = 40

Then use y = 40 and substitute the value for y into one of your original equations and solve for x. I'll choose the first one, but either one will work.

x+ 40 = 90
x = 50

So your solution is x = 50 and y = 40
