Answer:
-6
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that since Ax + By = 3 passes through (-7, 2), then if we plug -7 in for x and 2 in for y, the equation is satisfied. So, let's do that:
Ax + By = 3
A * (-7) + B * 2 = 3
-7A + 2B = 3
We also know that this line is parallel to x + 3y = -5, which means their slopes are the same. Let's solve for y in the second equation:
x + 3y = -5
3y = -x - 5
y = (-1/3)x - (5/3)
So, the slope of this line is -1/3, which means the slope of Ax + By = 3 is also -1/3. Let's solve for y in the first equation:
Ax + By = 3
By = -Ax + 3
y = (-A/B)x + 3/B
This means that -A/B = -1/3. So, we have a relationship between A and B:
-A/B = -1/3
A/B = 1/3
B = 3A
Plug 3A in for B into the equation we had where -7A + 2B = 3:
-7A + 2B = 3
-7A + 2 * 3A = 3
-7A + 6A = 3
-A = 3
A = -3
Use this to solve for B:
B = 3A
B = 3 * (-3) = -9
So, B = -9 and A = -3. Then B - A is:
B - A = -9 - (-3) = -9 + 3 = -6
The answer is -6.

A: Deena subtracted 25, instead of adding it.
B: 9x - 25 = 88.
C: no idea
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Put brackets around the first two tems.
y = (x^2 - 8x) + 29
Take 1/2 coefficient of the linear term -8. Square that result. Add it inside the brackets.
1/2 (- 8) = - 4
(- 4)^2 = 16
y = (x^2 - 8x + 16) + 29
Subtract 16 outside the brackets.
y = (x^2 - 8x + 16) + 29 - 16
Do the subtraction
y = (x^2 - 8x + 16) + 13
Represent what is inside the brackets as a square.
y = ( x - 4)^2 + 13
The answer is A
Answer:
(-1, -1.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
A coordinate is a point (a single place) on a graph. Coordinates can be recorded as (#, #).
The first number is the one on the x-axis (left/right) and the second number is the one on the y-axis (up/down). (x, y) The middle point, where the x-axis and y-axis meet is called the origin, and is at (0,0).
The point that marks the campground is at -1 on the x-axis and -1.5 on the y axis.
Because the y-axis has two lines for every whole number, the line in between is the halfway mark and counts as a 0.5 increment.
