Answer:

(1,-3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Luckily, y is already opposites, so it should be easier:

6x-8y=12

5x+8y=-1

Combine; This should end up with y eliminated -

11x = 11

x = 1

Now we can plug 1 in for x in one of the equations to find y. I'm going to use the second one.

5(1) +8y = -1

5+8y=-1

8y=-6

y=-6/8 (you can simplify)

The point at which the lines intersect is (1,-3/4)

What is the solution to the inequality? -2/3(2x - 1/2) ≤ 1/5x - 1 Express your answer in interval notation.

ANSWER

$-\frac{2}{3}(2x-\frac{1}{2})\le \frac{1}{5}x-1$

Multiply through by LCM of 15

$(15) \times -\frac{2}{3}(2x-\frac{1}{2})\le 15(\frac{1}{5}x-1)$

$-10(2x-\frac{1}{2})\le 3x-15$

Expand brackets to obtain,

$-20x+5\le 3x-15$

Group like terms

$15+5\le 20x+3x$

$20\le 23x$

$\frac{20}{23}\le x$

$x\ge \frac{20}{23}$

In interval form it is written as

$[\frac{20}{23}, \infty)$

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

In the coordinate plane, the x axis (y=0) and y axis (x=0) are perpendicular

however

this definition does not apply to the lines y=0 and x=0.

because

The slope of the horizontal line y=0 is equal to zero and the slope of the vertical line x=0 is undefined
