Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (6, 7) and (9, 2). User: Find the slope of the line that passe
DaniilM [7]
If we have two points;
A(x₁,y₁)
B(x₂,y₂)

m=slope

m=(y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)

Therefore:
(6,7)
(9,2)

m=(2-7) / (9-6)=-5/3.

Solution₁= the solpe of the line that passes through the poitns (6,7) and (9,2) is m=-5/3.

(17,9)
(5,29)

m=(29-9) / (5-17)=20/-12=-5/3

Solution ₂: the slope of the line that passes through the  parir of points (17,9) and (5,29) is m=-5/3

Therefore, both lines have the same slope.

Which statements about this system of equations are true? Check all that apply. - x + 6y = 16 8x - 6y = -2 The x-variable will b
frutty [35]

Answer:

The true statements are:

The y-variable will be eliminated when adding the system of equations

There is only one solution to the system of equations is

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- We use the elimination method to solve the system of the

  linear equation

- The solution is one of three cases

# Exactly one solution ⇒ the 2 lines which represented the equations

  intersect each other at one point

# No solution ⇒ the 2 lines which represented the equations are

  parallel to each other

# Infinite solutions ⇒ the two lines are coincide

- In the system of the linear equations of the problem we have two

 linear equations  -x + 6y = 16 and 8x - 6y = -2

- To solve we must to eliminate one of the two variables

∵ The y's in the two equations have the same coefficients and

   different signs

∴ We add the equations to eliminate y

∴ (-x + 8x) + (6y - 6y) = 16 + -2

∴ 7x = 14 ⇒ divide both sides by 7

∴ x = 2

- Substitute the x in any one of the two equations by 2

∴ -2 + 6y = 16 ⇒ add 2 to both sides

∴ 6y = 18 ⇒ divide both sides by 6

∴ y = 3

∴ The solution of the system of the equations is (2 , 3) ⇒ only one

   solution

- Lets check the statements to find the true statements

# The x-variable will be eliminated when adding the system of

   equations is not true

# The y-variable will be eliminated when adding the system of

   equations is true

# The sum of the system of equations is - x + 6y is not true

# There is only one solution to the system of equations is true
