X+y=31.5
x-y=5.25
add 2 equations
x+y+x-y=31.5+5.25
2x=36.75
x=18.375
y=31.5-18.375=13.125
check : 18.375+13.125=31.5, 18.375-13.125=5.25
so
Answer:
18.375 and 13.125
The perpendicular bisector of RT is B. SU.
Total gasoline = 10 gallons
Gasoline left after 100 miles = 5 gallons
Gasoline used in 100 miles
= Total gasoline - Gasoline left after 100 miles
= 10 gallons - 5 gallons
= 5 gallons
Gasoline used in 1 mile
= Gasoline used in 100 miles/100
= 5 gallons/100
= 0.05 gallons
The slope of f(x) is 10 and the slope of g(x) is 5; g(x) has the greater y-intercept.
To find the slope of f(x), we use the slope formula: m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (-1--11)/(0--1) = (-1+11)/(0+1) = 10/1 = 10.
To find the slope of g(x), we just look at the form it is in. It is written in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, where m is the slope. The number in g(x) that would correspond to m is 5.
The y-intercept of f(x) is found by looking at the points. Any y-intercept will have an x-coordinate of 0; the only point like this in the table is (0, -1) so the y-intercept is -1.
For g(x), we again look at the form y=mx+b. The number that corresponds with b is the y-intercept; in this case, it is 1. 1>-1, so g(x) has the larger y-intercept.
