Answer:

k = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

input y = kx +6 into the equation of the curve x² + y² – 10x + 8y = 84

x² + (kx + 6)² - 10x + 8(kx + 6) = 84

expand:

x² + k²x² + 12kx + 36 - 10x + 8kx + 48 = 84

simplify by collecting like terms:

x² + k²x² + 20kx - 10x + 84 = 84

subtract 84 on both sides to bring it to the left:

x² + k²x² + 20kx - 10x + 84 - 84 = 0

x² + k²x² + 20kx - 10x = 0

factorise out x:

x²(1 + k²) + x(20k - 10) = 0

using the discriminant b² - 4ac where b is 20k - 10, a is 1 + k² and c is 0, substitute them in the formula b² - 4ac:

b² - 4ac

(20k - 10)² - 4(1 + k²)(0) = 0

the part highlighted in bold is gone because it's all multiplied by 0, so we are left with (20k - 10)² = 0

(20k - 10)² is the same as

(20k - 10)(20k - 10)

equate both to 0

20k - 10 = 0 and 20k - 10 = 0

add 10 on both sides

20k = 10 and 20k = 10

divide 20 on both sides

k = 10/20 and k = 10/20 which are both the same

10/20 is simplified to 1/2

k = 1/2

Rewrite x - 3y = 6 in slope-intercept form.
Rudik [331]

Answer:

use formula y=mx+c

x - 3y = 6 \\ x - 6 = 3y \\ x -  \frac{6}{3} = y \\ x  - 2 = y \\ y = x - 2

so the answer is B

Begin by computing the <span>monthly interest rate like this:
</span>\frac{14.99}{12}=1.25
<span>Each month, we have to substract from $463 the monthly rate and the payment of 5%, which result in the following formula:

Solve the following systems by Elimination
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The solutions for both system of equations are as follows:

  1. (5,2)
  2. (2,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first set of equations is:

4x+6y=32\\3x-6y=3\\

It can clearly be seen that the coefficients of y are already same in magnitude with different signs so we have to add both equations

So adding both equations, we get

4x+6y+3x-6y = 32+3\\7x = 35\\\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{35}{7}\\x = 5

Putting x=5 in equation 1

4(5)+6y = 32\\20+6y = 32\\6y = 32-20\\6y = 12\\\frac{6y}{6} = \frac{12}{6}\\y = 2

The solution is (5,2)

The second set of simultaneous equations is:

-3x+5y=-113x+7y=-1

We can see that the coefficients of x in both equations are same in magnitude with opposite signs so

Adding both equations

-3x+5y+3x+7y = -11-1\\12y = -12\\\frac{12y}{12} = \frac{-12}{12}\\y = -1

Putting y= -1 in first equation

-3x+5(-1)=-11\\-3x-5=-11\\-3x=-11+5\\-3x=-6\\\frac{-3x}{-3} = \frac{-6}{-3}\\x = 2

The solution is: (2,-1)

Hence,

The solutions for both system of equations are as follows:

  1. (5,2)
  2. (2,-1)
