The vertex of a parabola is the maximum or minimum value, and it’s represented by (x,y). The axis of symmetry is the vertical line that runs through the x axis, and also runs through the vertex. This means that the x value in the vertex (x,y) can represent the axis of symmetry.
Answer:
6x - 15y = -63
15x -15y = -90
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to multiply the two equations by a constant that will eliminate the y terms.
The two equations are:
2x - 5y = -21
3x - 3y = -18
Let us multiply the first by 3 and the second by 6. The resulting equations will be:
6x - 15y = -63
15x -15y = -90
Note: To solve the system of equations we can simply subtract the first from the second.
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 5y = 3 ................ (i)
kx + 15y = 9................(ii)
Dividing eqn (ii) by 3, we get,
k/3 x + 5y = 3.............(iii)
Subtracting eqn (iii) by eqn (i), we get,
-4x - k/3 x = 0
or, -(4 - k/3 )x = 0
or, 4 - k/3 = 0/x
or, 4 - k/3 = 0
or, 4 = k/3
or, k = 4*3
:. k = 12 (Ans)
