Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
First solve it:
Subtract the x's from both sides
2y = -3x +8
2y = -5x +2
Divide by two
y= -1.5x + 4
y = -2.5x +1
set them equal to each other:
-1.5x +4 = -2.5x +1
Add 2.5 x to both sides
1x +4 = 1
x +4 = 1
subtract 4 from both sides
x = -3
Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation: Since the total number of games played in the graph is 12, if you half that and get six, you half the total number of wins as well and get 4. :]
To find out if they are parallel we need to see if the gradient is the same, to do this we need to get y in terms of x:
assuming the first equation is x+y+7=0
y=-x-7
and
y=x-3
The gradient is the coefficient of x (the number infront of x)
For equation 1 the gradient is -1, and for number 2 it is 1, therefore they are not parallel.
However to check if they are perpendicular we need to see if their gradients multiply to equal -1.
-1*1=-1 therefore they are perpendicular
Hey!
So before trying to figure out the equation of the line, lets change -3y+4x = 9 into slope-intercept form:
-3y + 4x = 9
-3y = -4x + 9
y = (4/3)x - 3
Now that you have the equation in slope-intercept form we can find the equation of the line parallel to this. One thing that we are given from this equation is the slope of the line, the slope for two parallel lines are the same. So we know that the slope of the line is 4/3. We are also given another point on the line and we can plug this point in for y and x to find the y-intercept or b:
6 = (4/3)(-12) + b
6 = -16 + b
22 = b
Now that we know b, we have both the y-intercept and the slope so our equation would be:
y = (4/3)x + 22
