Check the picture below.

(x+6)^2=x^2+12^2\implies (x+6)(x+6)=x^2+144 \\\\\\ \stackrel{F~O~I~L}{x^2+12x+36}=x^2+144\implies 12x+36=144\implies 12x=108 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{108}{12}\implies x = 9

Two ships leave from the same port. One travels west 84 miles and the other travels 62 miles north. Determine the distance betwe
Lerok [7]
The distance the ships traveled are like the legs of a triangle and the question wants to know the hypotenuse. To find the hypotenuse, use the pythagorean theorem. this is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, with a and b being the legs and c being the <span>hypotenuse.
</span>Plug in known values:
84^2 + 62^2 = c^2
Solve:
84^2 = 7056
62^2 = 3844
7056 + 3844 = c^2
7056 + 3844 = 10900
10900 = c^2
Now you just need to isolate c by finding the square root of both sides.
√10900 = 104.403
√c^2 = c

So c = 104.403, or just 104.40 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
And if c is 104.40, then that means the hypotenuse is 104.40.
And all of that basically means that the distance between the ships is 104.40 miles.

Which ordered pair represents the y-intercept of the graph of the equation y = -3x - 9?
Mnenie [13.5K]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = -3x - 9

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = -9, I should get y = 0

When x = -9
y = -3 (-9) - 9
= 18 (I did not get 0, wrong)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = -3, I should get y = 0
y = -3(-3) - 9
y = 9 - 9 
y = 0 (Yes, I got 0, correct)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = 0, I should get y = -3
y = -3 (0) - 9
y = 0 - 9
y = -9 (I did not get -3, wrong)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = 0, I should get y = -9
y = -3 (0) - 9
y = 0 - 9
y = -9 (Yes, I got -9, correct)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: (-3, 0) and (0, 9) are ordered pairs of the equation (Answer B, D)

A line joins the point
Harrizon [31]

Intersection of the first two lines:

\begin{cases}5x - 2y + 3 = 0\\4x - 3y + 1 = 0\end{cases}

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 5:

\begin{cases}20x - 8y + 12 = 0\\20x - 15y + 5 = 0\end{cases}

Subtract the two equations:

(20x - 8y + 12)-(20x - 15y + 5)=0 \iff 7y+7=0 \iff y=-1

Plug this value for y in one of the equation, for example the first:

5x - 2\cdot (-1) + 3 = 0\iff 5x+5=0 \iff x=-1

So, the first point of intersection is (-1,-1)

We can find the intersection of the other two lines in the same way: we start with

\begin{cases}x=y\\x=3y+4\end{cases}

Use the fact that x and y are the same to rewrite the second equation as

x=3x+4 \iff 2x=-4 \iff x=-2

And since x and y are the same, the second point is (-2, -2)

So, we're looking for a line passing through (-1,-1) and (-2, -2). We may use the formula to find the equation of a line knowing two of its points, but in this case it is very clear that both points have the same coordinates, so the line must be y=x

In the attached figure, line 5x - 2y + 3 = 0 is light green, line 4x - 3y + 1 = 0 is dark green, and their intersection is point A.

Simiarly, line x=y is red, line x = 3y + 4 is orange, and their intersection is B.

As you can see, the line connecting A and B is the red line itself.
