$\begin{array}{rrrrr} 10x&-&18y&=&2\\ -5x&+&9y&=&-1 \end{array}~\hfill \implies ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{second equation }\times 2}{ \begin{array}{rrrrr} 10x&-&18y&=&2\\ 2(-5x&+&9y&)=&2(-1) \end{array}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{array}{rrrrr} 10x&-&18y&=&2\\ -10x&+&18y&=&-2\\\cline{1-5} 0&+&0&=&0 \end{array}\qquad \impliedby \textit{another way of saying \underline{infinite solutions}}$

if we were to solve both equations for "y", we'd get

$10x-18y=2\implies 10x-2=18y\implies \cfrac{10x-2}{18}=y\implies \cfrac{5}{9}x-\cfrac{1}{9}=y \\\\\\ -5x+9y=-1\implies 9y=5x-1\implies y=\cfrac{5x-1}{9}\implies y = \cfrac{5}{9}x-\cfrac{1}{9}$

notice, the 1st equation is really the 2nd in disguise, since both lines are just pancaked on top of each other, every point in the lines is a solution or an intersection, and since both go to infinity, well, there you have it.

Find sin q if q is an angle in standard position and the point with coordinates (4, 3) lies on the terminal side of the angle.

jolli1 [7]

Letâ€™s say we have a starting point (0,0), the point (4,3) are distance apart at 90 degrees, hence the hypotenuse to those two distance will be 5. Therefore sin q = 4/5.

Point J has coordinates (–3, 4) in the coordinate plane. Point K has coordinates (3, 4). Both points will be reflected across th

kumpel [21]

The location of the image of points J and K following a reflection across the x-axis are;

J'(-3, -4), and K'(3, -4)

<h3>Which method can be used to find the image of a point following a reflection?</h3>

Coordinates of point are;

J(-3, 4), K(3, 4)

The given transformation is; A reflection across the x-axis

The representation of a reflection across the x-axis is presented as follows;

(x, y) → (x, -y)

The image of J and K following a transformation across the x-axis are therefore;

J(-3, 4) → J'(-3, -4)

K(3, 4) → K'(3, -4)
