Answer:
x = -5
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x = – 2y – 1
= -x - 2y - 1
-x - 2y = 1
x = – 5y + 5
= -x - 5y + 5
-x - 5y = -5
-x - 2y = 1
-x - 5y = -5
___________--
3y = 6
y = 6/3
<u>y = 2</u>
-x - 2y = 1
-x - 2(2) = 1
-x - 4 = 1
-x = 1 + 4
-x = 5
<u>x = -5</u>
Okay! Math isn't my strongest subject. However, though, I think the answer is 25.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
A: No, because you can't switch signs of a number to another sign unless you change the number itself.
B: Yes. It has the same numbers and signs and the result is negative (there are an odd amount of negative signs)
Answer:
y = -3/8x -41/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines intersect at 90° and their slopes are opposite reciprocals.
Therefore the slope changes from 8/3 to -3/8.
Now we must solve for the new y-intercept (b) by plugging in the given coordinate (-3,-4).
The result is b = -41/8 so our new equation is:
y = -3/8x -41/8
