Hello!

$\large\boxed{5, -8}$

5x + 2y = 9

4x - 3y = 44

We can eliminate y by multiplying both expressions in order to have the y coefficients equal.

The LCM (least common multiple) of 2 and 3 is 6, so we can multiply each accordingly:

3(5x + 2y = 9)

2(4x - 3y = 44)

Distribute:

15x + 6y = 27

8x - 6y = 88

Cancel using addition:

15x + 6y = 27

8x - 6y = 88

------------------

23x = 115

Divide:

x = 5.

Plug in this value of x into an equation to solve for y:

5(5) + 2y = 9

25 + 2y = 9

2y = -16

y = -8

The solution of the system is:

(5, -8).

Differentiating with respect to time

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$l = 30 \ cm\\w = l\\\frac{dl}{dt} = 2 \ cm/h\\h = 20 \ cm\\\frac{dh}{dt} = 3 \ cm/h$

Step 2: Differentiate

Rewrite [VRP]: $V = l^2h$
Differentiate [Basic Power Rule]: $\frac{dV}{dt} = 2l\frac{dl}{dt} \frac{dh}{dt}$

Step 3: Solve for Rate

Substitute: $\frac{dV}{dt} = 2(30 \ cm)(2 \ cm/h)(3 \ cm/h)$
Multiply: $\frac{dV}{dt} = 360 \ cm^3/h$

Here this tells us that our volume is decreasing (ice melting) at a rate of 360 cm³ per hour.

Line CH contains points (-2, 6) and H(5, -3) What is the slope of G?

Xelga [282]

Answer:

The slope of line G is $\dfrac{- 9}{7}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The points of the line CH contains

C = $x_1$ , $y_1$ = - 2 , 6

H = $x_2$ , $y_2$ = 5 , -3

Let The slop of line CH = G

Now, slope of line is

G = $\dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

i.e G = $\dfrac{- 3 - 6}{5 -(-2)}$

Or, G = $\dfrac{- 9}{5 +2}$

Or,G = $\dfrac{- 9}{7}$

So, The slope of the line CH = G = $\dfrac{- 9}{7}$

Hence, The slope of line G is $\dfrac{- 9}{7}$ . Answer
