Answer:
your correct awnswer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is A
Multiply the 2nd equation by -2
-2x -12y = -8
Then add it to the 1st equation
-9y = -6
y = 2/3
By substituting in the 1st equation
2x + 3(2/3) = 2
2x = 0
x=0

Answer:
y = -4/7x +58/7
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the given line segment is ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (17 -3)/(1 -(-7)) = 14/8 = 7/4
Then the slope of the perpendicular line is ...
-1/m = -4/7 . . . . . slope of the perpendicular bisector.
__
The midpoint of the given line segment is ...
M = 1/2(x1 +x2, y1 +y2)
M = (1/2)(-7 +1, 3 +17) = 1/2(-6, 20) = (-3, 10)
__
The y-intercept of the bisector can be found from ...
b = y -mx
b = 10 -(-4/7)(-3) = 10 -12/7 = 58/7
Then the slope-intercept form equation for the perpendicular bisector is ...
y = mx +b
y = -4/7x +58/7
The LCM of 3 and 8 is 24.
The type of reasoning that Vivian used into solving the
equation is the deductive. This type of reasoning is able to describe on how
the equation is done and this could be seen in the given scenario above as she
was able to show the steps in obtaining the correct answer.
