A new library, L, is to be built at some point along a straight road, R, such that its distance from train station, T, is the sh

ortest possible. The train station and the road are placed on a coordinate system where T has coordinates (80, 140) and R has equation y = x - 80. All coordinates are given in kilometers. Find the coordinates of the new library.

Answer:

Coordinates of the new library is (150, 70)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the shortest possible distance means that line from point T to point R has to be perpendicular.

Now, the equation of R is given as;

y = x - 80 - - - (1)

For T to be perpendicular, it means it will have a slope equal to the negative reciprocal of line R.

Thus, slope of T is -1/1 = - 1

Thus, using line - slope intercept of y = mx + c, we can find equation of T as;

140 = -1(80) + c

140 = -80 + c

c = 140 + 80

c = 220

Thus, equation is;

y = -x + 220 - - - (eq 2)

Adding equation 1 to equation 2,we have;

y + y = 220 - 80

2y = 140

y = 140/2

y = 70

Putting 70 for y in eq 1 gives;

70 = x - 80

x = 70 + 80

x = 150

Thus;

Coordinate of the new library is (150, 70)

Answer:

(- 2, 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations

3x + 2y = 6 → (1)

\frac{2}{3} y - x = 6 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

2y - 3x = 18 ( add 3x to both sides )

2y = 18 + 3x → (2)

Substitute 2y = 18 + 3x into (1)

3x + 18 + 3x = 6

6x + 18 = 6 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

6x = - 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = - 2

Substitute x = - 2 into (1) and solve for y

3(- 2) + 2y = 6

- 6 + 2y = 6 ( add 6 to both sides )

2y = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 6

solution is (- 2, 6 )

Which of the following graphs would represent the solution set for y<6x-2
OverLord2011 [107]
Where is the graph but in this case the y intercept would be -2 and you slope is 6 so go up 6 and to the right one and go down six and to the left one and thats what the graph should look like

X and y<br> are supplementary angles. y<br> measures 156<br> What is the measure of a?
Troyanec [42]

Supplementary angles need to add up to 180 degrees.

Subtract Y from 180:

X = 180 - 156 = 24

X = 24 degrees
