The value of r so the line that passes through (-5,2) and (3,r) has a slope of -1/2 is -2
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that line is passing through point (-5, 2) and (3, r)
Slope of the line is
Need to determine value of r.
Slope of a line passing through point is given by following formula:
--- eqn 1
On substituting the given value in (1) we get
Hence the value of "r" is -2
Answer:
Given System of equation:
x-y =6 .....,[1]
2x-3z = 16 ......[2]
2y+z = 4 .......[3]
Rewrite the equation [1] as
y = x - 6 .......[4]
Substitute the value of [4] in [3], we get
Using distributive property on LHS ( i.e, )
then, we have
2x - 12 +z =4
Add 12 to both sides of an equation:
2x-12+z+12=4+12
Simplify:
2x +z = 16 .......[5]
On substituting equation [2] in [5] we get;
2x+z=2x -3z
or
z = -3z
Add 3z both sides of an equation:
z+3z = -3z+3z
4z = 0
Simplify:
z = 0
Substitute the value of z = 0 in [2] to solve for x;
or
2x = 16
Divide by 2 both sides of an equation:
Simplify:
x= 8
Substitute the value of x =8 in equation [4] to solve for y;
y = 8-6 = 2
or
y = 2
Therefore, the solution for the given system of equation is; x = 8 , y = 2 and z =0
