<h3>Answer: 5</h3>

=================================

Explanation:

Apply the difference of squares rule

x^2 - y^2 = (x-y)(x+y)

x^2 - y^2 = (5)(1)

x^2 - y^2 = 5

----------

Alternatively, you can solve the system

$\begin{cases}x-y=5\\x+y = 1\end{cases}$

for x and y to get (x,y) = (3,-2).

Then compute x^2-y^2 = 3^2-(-2)^2 = 9-4 = 5

Find the equation of the line

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

y= - 1/6x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y= 6x -2

and point (6, -2)

Perpendicular line has slope of reciprocal opposite to the given: - 1/6, so the equation:

y= -1/6x + b

Finding b using the intersected point:

-2= -1/6*6 +b
b= -2 +1= -1

So the equation is:

y= - 1/6x -1

What equation is graphed in this figure?

topjm [15]

Answer:

The third equation: $y+2=-3(x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points on the line are $(-1,4)$ and $(1,-2)$ .

Slope of the line passing through two points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is given as:

$m=(y_{2} -y_{1})/ (x_{2} -x_{1})$

Here, $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ are $(-1,4)$ and $(1,-2)$ .

Therefore, slope is equal to, $m=(-2-4 )/ (1-(-1)$

$m=-6/2$

$m=-3$

Now, equation of a straight line with slope m and points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is given as:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})\\y-y_{2}=m(x-x_{2})$

Now, if we use the 2nd form, then $x_{2}=1,y_{2}=-2$ .

So, the equation is given as :

$y-(-2)=-3(x-1)\\y+2=-3(x-1)$
