Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 1/2 * 2b * (5b - 7)

Area = 1/2 * 2b * (5b - 7) = 24

b * (5b - 7) = 24

5b^2 - 7b = 24

5b^2 - 7b - 24= 0

(b- 3 )(5b + 8) = 0

b = 3                    This the only solution that works.  b can't be minus

The base is 2b or 2 * 3 = 6

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points.
Fudgin [204]
<h2>Answer:    slope = ¹¹/₁₃ </h2><h3>Step-by-step explanation:    </h3>

      The question gives us two points, (−13, −19) & (13, 3), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.

Finding the Slope

The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)      

                                          =  ((3 - (-19)) ÷ (13 - (-13))      

                                          =   22 ÷ 26

                                          =  ¹¹/₁₃

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>Checking my answer:</em>

<em>We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line. If the line passes through both of the points then we calculated the slope correctly.</em>

                                ⇒  y + 19 =  ¹¹/₁₃ (x + 13)

<em>I have included a Desmos Graph that I graphed using the information equation (including the slope) and the points given. </em>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:-16x^2 + 24x + 16 = 0.

A. Divide by 8:

-2x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0, A*C = -2*2 = -4 = -1 * 4. Sum = -1 + 4 = 3 = B, -2x^2 + (-x+4x) + 2 = 0,

(-2x^2-x) + (4x+2) = 0,

-x(2x+1) + 2(2x+1) = 0,

(2x+1)(-x+2) = 0, 2x+1 = 0, X = -1/2. -x+2 = 0, X = 2.

X-intercepts: (-1/2,0), (2,0).

B. Since the coefficient of x^2 is negative, the parabola opens downward. Therefore, the vertex is a maximum.

Locate the vertex: h = Xv = -B/2A = -24/-32 = 3/4, Plug 3/4 into the given Eq to find k(Yv). K = -16(3/4)^2 + 16(3/4) + 16 = 19. V(h,k) = V(3/4,19).

C. Choose 3 points above and below the vertex for graphing. Include the points calculated in part A which shows where the graph crosses the x-axis.

10x + 10y = −10<br> 9x + 10y = −18
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10x+10y=-10

9x+10y=18

= 10x+10y=-10

-9x-10y=18

= x=8

step two is to find y:

10x+10y=-10

10(8)+10y=-10

80+10y=-10

10y=-90

y=-9

your answer:

(x,y)= (8,-9)
