Answer:

slope = -3/4

using the formula

y -y1 = m(x -x1)

y -1 = -3/4(x -(-8))

y -1 = -3/4(x +8)

cross multiply

4(y -1) = -3(x +8)

4y -4 = -3x -24

4y = -3x -24 +4

4y = -3x -20

divide both sides by 4

y = -3/4 x -5 (equation of the line)

What solution do 2x2 - 13x + 21 = 0 and 2x2 + 9x - 56 = 0 have in common? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.
lys-0071 [83]
So if we want to know the common solution(s) to a system of 2 equations, So we can just set both equations equal to each other and solve for the x value(s). That’s where I start below;

2x^2-13x+21 = 2x^2+9x-56
2x^2 cancels out and moving everything to one side and anything with an x variable to the other side we have then;
-22x=-77
22x=77 by cancelling the negative signs
x=77/22 therefore x=7/2 or 3.5

Hope this helps you. Any questions please ask.

Eight inches of snow fell in five hours. Write the number of inches per hour.
DedPeter [7]

The answer is 1.6

How I figured it out:

I divided 8 by 5, which gave me 1.6

To make sure this was right, I multiplied 1.6 by 5, which gave me an answer of 8 or other known as 8 inches.

In conclusion, the number of inces per hour is 1.6
