Answer:

  (7, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find point X on the segment from A to B such that ...

  (X -A)/(B -X) = 3/2

  2(X -A) = 3(B -X) . . . . . . cross multiply

  2X -2A = 3B -3X . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  5X = 2A +3B . . . . . . . . add 3X +2A

  X = (2A +3B)/5 . . . . . . . divide by 5

Filling in the given points for A and B, we have ...

  X = (2(4, -3) +3(9, -8))/5 = (8+27, -6-24)/5 = (35, -30)/5

  X = (7, -6)

The point that divides the segment in the proportions 3:2 is (7, -6).

The system of equations represented by the graph is:

y = x - 6

y + x = -2

And the solution is (2, -4), then the correct option is the first one.

<h3>What system is represented by the graph?</h3>

On the graph, we can see a system of linear equations, we can see a line with a positive slope and a line with a negative slope.

The line with a positive slope intercepts the y-axis at y = -6, then that line is:

y = a*x - 6

with a > 0.

The other line passes through the y-axis at y = -2, then the linear equation is:

y = b*x - 2

Where b < 0.

Also, remember that the solution for the system of equations is the point where the two lines intersect, so we can see that the solution is at (2, -4)

The only option that meets all the criteria is the first option:

y = x - 6

x + y = -2

And the solution is (2, -4)

What the constant rate of change?
lozanna [386]
For straight lines the constant rate of change(slope) is a constant(always the same) For every unit moved on the x-axis two more are moved on the y-axis

A line passes through the points (-3, 14) and (-1, 16). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?​
timurjin [86]

Answer:

y = 6x + 22

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Alg</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

<u>Algebra I</u>

Slope Formula: m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

  • m - slope
  • b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Point (-3, 14)

Point (-1, 16)

<u>Step 2: Find slope </u><em><u>m</u></em>

  1. Substitute:                    m=\frac{16-14}{-1+3}
  2. Subtract/Add:               m=\frac{12}{2}
  3. Divide:                           m=6

<u>Step 3: Find y-intercept </u><em><u>b</u></em>

  1. Define:                    y = 6x + b
  2. Substitute:              16 = 6(-1) + b
  3. Multiply:                  16 = -6 + b
  4. Isolate <em>b</em>:                 22 = b
  5. Rewrite:                   b = 22

<u>Step 4: Write linear equation</u>

y = 6x + 22

Negative, because it’s -18 degrees not 18 degrees
