Answer:

  a = 8; b = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Filling in the given values gives you two equations.

  7 = a(2) +b

  -1 = a(1) +b

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  (7) -(-1) = (2a +b) -(a +b)

  8 = a . . . . . simplify

Using this value in the first equation gives ...

  7 = (8)(2) +b

  b = 7 -16 = -9

The constants are a = 8, b = -9.

Simplify the slope of AC
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Slope\:\: \overline{AC} =1

Step-by-step explanation:

A is on the same point on the x-axis as B and the same point on the y-axis as D

  • Therefore, the coordinate of A is (0,0)

C is on the same point on the x-axis as D and the same point on the y-axis as B.

  • Therefore, the coordinate of C is (a,a)

We are to determine the slope of the line joining A to C.

Slope, m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\(x_1,y_1)=(0,0),(x_2,y_2)=(a,a)\\$Therefore, Slope of AC$\\m =\dfrac{a-0}{a-0}\\=\dfrac{a}{a}\\\\=1

Slope\:\: \overline{AC} =1
