The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as
y = mx + c
Where
m represents slope
c represents y intercept
The equation of the given line is expressed as
3x - 6y = 30
Rearranging it so that it will look like the slope intercept form, it becomes
6y = 3x - 30
Dividing both sides by 6, it becomes
6y/6 = 3x/6 - 30/6
y = x/2 - 5
Looking at the equation, slope, m = 1/2
If two lines are parallel, it means that they have equal slope. This means that the slope of the line parallel to the given line is 1/2
To determine the y intercept, c of the line passing through the point (4, - 9), we would substitute
x = 4, y = - 9 and m = 1/2 into the slope intercept equation. It becomes
- 9 = 1/2 * 4 + c
- 9 = 2 + c
c = - 9 - 2
c = - 11
By substtuting m = 1/2 and c = - 11 into the slope intercept equation, the equation of the line would be
y = x/2 - 11
Let <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> be the two numbers. Then
<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = -4
<em>a b</em> = -2
Solve the second equation for <em>b</em> :
<em>b</em> = -2/<em>a</em>
Substitute this into the first equation:
<em>a</em> - 2/<em>a</em> = -4
Multiply both sides by <em>a</em> :
<em>a</em>² - 2 = -4<em>a</em>
Move 4<em>a</em> to the left side:
<em>a</em>² + 4<em>a</em> - 2 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to solve for <em>a</em> :
<em>a</em> = (-4 ± √(4² - 4(-2))) / 2
<em>a</em> = -2 ± √6
If <em>a</em> = -2 + √6, then
-2 + √6 + <em>b</em> = -4
<em>b</em> = -2 - √6
In the other case, we end up with the same numbers, but <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are swapped.
Answer:
The two numbers are 37.5 and 25.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Comment
Let the two numbers be x and y
Equations
x + y = 63
x - y = 12
Solution
Add the two equations. The ys cancel out.
2x = 75 Divide by 2
2x/2 = 75/3 Do the division
x = 37.5
Now use one of the given equations to solve for y
x + y = 63
x = 37.5
37.5 + y = 63 Subtract 37.5 from both sides
37.5-37.5+y= 63 - 37.5 Collect the like terms on both sides
y = 25.5
Check
x - y =? 12
37.5-25.5 =? 12
12 = 12
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1) 36 yard
2) 2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Perimeter = 4 * side length
144 = 4 * s
s = 36
2) Area = Length * Length
4 = l * l
l = 2
