Answer:
6/3 - c
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve this system of equations through substitution.
We have these two equations.
-7x-2y=14
6x+6y=18
Now let divide the second equation by 6.
6x+6y=18 ----> x+y=3
Next, let us move y to the right side of the equation.
x+y=3 -------> x=3-y (x equals 3-y)
Because we found out that what x is in terms of y, we can input that in for every instance of x in this equation below.
-7x-2y=14 becomes -7(3-y)-2y=14 (Why? Because x equals 3-y!)
We have a one variable equation now and can solve for y.
-7(3-y)-2y=14
-21+7y-2y=14
5y=35
y=7
Plug in 7 for y in any equation to find x.
x+y=3
x+7=3
x=-4
answer: x=-4, y=7
1. If the line that we are searching for is perpendicular to the line y = -4x, this means that the gradient of our line and the gradient of the perpendicular line will multiply to give -1. Thus if we call the gradient of our line m, then:
m*(-4) = -1
-4m = -1
m = 1/4
2. Since we know that m = 1/4 and we have a point (2,6) on our line, we can use the formula y - y1 = m(x - x1) to find the equation of our line, where (x1, y1) is the coordinates of a point on the line. Thus:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 6 = (1/4)(x - 2)
y - 6 = (1/4)x - 2/4 (Expand (1/4)(x - 2))
y = (1/4)x - 1/2 + 6 (Simplify 2/4 and add 6 to each side)
y = (1/4)x + 11/2 (Evaluate -1/2 + 6)
Slope-intercept form is given by y = mx + c. As our equation is already in this form, there is nothing more to do. Thus, the answer is y = (1/4)x + 11/2
The discriminant can be determined from the number of roots of the graph.
If Disc> 0, the function has two distinct roots
If Disc = 0, the function has a repeated root
If Disc < 0, the function has no real root.
Since the given graph has no real root, i.e. it does not cross x-axis at any point, so we can say that the discriminant of the given function is negative.
So the answer to this question is option C
-3/4 because it's negative and also you can work it out by using rise/run
