If you want to solve the equation
for C, you can work like this: subtract P from both sides:
Add C to both sides:
Answer:
The slope of the line = m = -9/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points
Determining the slope between (-2, 4) and (3, -5)
(x₁, y₁) = (-2, 4)
(x₂, y₂) = (3, -5)
Using the formula
Slope = m = [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]
= [-5 - 4] / [3 - (-2)]
= [-9] / [3 + 2]
= -9/5
Thus, the slope of the line = m = -9/5
20 x 18 x 5= 1,800
20 times 18 equals 360, then you mutiply 5 and get 1,800
4,003,052 is the answer to the problem
Note that the 2nd equation can be re-written as y=8x-10.
According to the second equation, y=x^2+12x+30.
Equate these two equations to eliminate y:
8x-10 = x^2+12x+30
Group all terms together on the right side. To do this, add -8x+10 to both sides. Then 0 = x^2 +4x +40. You must now solve this quadratic equation for x, if possible. I found that this equation has NO REAL SOLUTIONS, so we must conclude that the given system of equations has NO REAL SOLUTIONS.
If you have a graphing calculator, please graph 8x-10 and x^2+12x+30 on the same screen. You will see two separate graphs that do NOT intersect. This is another way in which to see / conclude that there is NO REAL SOLUTION to this system of equations.
