Answer:

$\large\boxed{B)\ -\dfrac{1}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-(-6x-5)=4(5x+3)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\-(-6x)-(-5)=(4)(5x)+(4)(3)\\\\6x+5=20x+12\qquad\text{subtrac 5 from both sides}\\\\6x=20x+7\qquad\text{subtract 20x from both sides}\\\\-14x=7\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-14)}\\\\x=-\dfrac{7}{14}\\\\x=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

What is the slope of the line shown?

Anarel [89]

Hello!

$\large\boxed{Slope = -\frac{1}{2}}$

Use the slope formula along with provided points to solve for the slope.

We can use the points (-4, -1) and (0, -3) and plug these values into the equation:

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$m = \frac{-3-(-1)}{0-(-4)} \\\\m = \frac{-2}{4} \\\\m = -\frac{1}{2}$

Use the change of variables s=x+3y, t=y to find the area of the ellipse x2+6xy+10y2≤1.

MArishka [77]

$t=y\implies s=x+3t\implies x=s-3t$

Then

$x^2+6xy+10y^2=(s-3t)^2+6(s-3t)t+10t^2=s^2+t^2\le1$

which is a disk of radius 1, hence with area $\pi$ .
