Answer:

  (x, y) = (80, -68)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the second equation from the first.

  (3x +y) -(x +y) = (172) -(12)

  2x = 160 . . . . . . . . . simplify

  x = 80 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  y = 12 -x = 12 -80 = -68 . . . . . find y from the second equation

The solution is (x, y) = (80, -68).

Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions that follow. Find a, b, and c.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is the letter C. </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the following trigonometric identity:

cos(60)=\frac{6}{b} (1)

cos(45)=\frac{c}{b} (2)

Solving each equation by b and equaling we have:

\frac{6}{cos(60)}=\frac{c}{cos(45)}

\frac{6}{cos(60)}=\frac{c}{cos(45)}

Let's recall that:

cos(45)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

cos(60)=\frac{1}{2}

Then we have:

c=\frac{cos(45)*6}{cos(60)}

c=\frac{2*6}{\sqrt{2}}

c=\frac{12}{\sqrt{2}}

c=6\sqrt{2}

Using equation (1) we can find b.

cos(60)=\frac{6}{b}  

b=12      

Finally, we can find a using the next equation:

tan(60)=\frac{a}{6}

a=6*tan(60)

a=6\sqrt{3}

<u>Therefore, the correct answer is the letter C. </u>

I hope it helps you!

The picture says it all please help
Mariulka [41]
The only two points that I can clearly see are (0,2) and (5,3).

The slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), in this case:

m=(3-2)/(5-0)=1/5

So the slope of the line is 1/5
