You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3x-y=6 Start with the given equation.


-y=6-3x Subtract 3x from both sides.


-y=-3x%2B6 Rearrange the terms.


y=%28-3x%2B6%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate y.


y=%28%28-3%29%2F%28-1%29%29x%2B%286%29%2F%28-1%29 Break up the fraction.


y=3x-6 Reduce.




Looking at y=3x-6 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=3 and the y-intercept is b=-6


Since b=-6 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is 3, this means:

rise%2Frun=3%2F1


which shows us that the rise is 3 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 3 and over 1



So starting at , go up 3 units


and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=3x-6

So this is the graph of y=3x-6 through the points and

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

We can see that the equation y=-2x-4 has a slope m=-2 and a y-intercept b=-4.


Now to find the slope of the perpendicular line, simply flip the slope m=-2 to get m=-1%2F2. Now change the sign to get m=1%2F2. So the perpendicular slope is m=1%2F2.


Now let's use the point slope formula to find the equation of the perpendicular line by plugging in the slope m=1%2F2 and the coordinates of the given point .


y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the point slope formula


y-5=%281%2F2%29%28x--6%29 Plug in m=1%2F2, x%5B1%5D=-6, and y%5B1%5D=5


y-5=%281%2F2%29%28x%2B6%29 Rewrite x--6 as x%2B6


y-5=%281%2F2%29x%2B%281%2F2%29%286%29 Distribute


y-5=%281%2F2%29x%2B3 Multiply


y=%281%2F2%29x%2B3%2B5 Add 5 to both sides.


y=%281%2F2%29x%2B8 Combine like terms.


So the equation of the line perpendicular to y=-2x-4 that goes through the point is y=%281%2F2%29x%2B8.


Here's a graph to visually verify our answer:


Graph of the original equation y=-2x-4 (red) and the perpendicular line y=%281%2F2%29x%2B8 (green) through the point .

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Start with the given system of equations:
system%28x%2B9y=66%2C-x%2B9y=60%29


Add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this:


%28x%2B9y%29%2B%28-1x%2B9y%29=%2866%29%2B%2860%29


%281x%2B-1x%29%2B%289y%2B9y%29=66%2B60 Group like terms.


0x%2B18y=126 Combine like terms.


18y=126 Simplify.


y=%28126%29%2F%2818%29 Divide both sides by 18 to isolate y.


y=7 Reduce.


------------------------------------------------------------------


x%2B9y=66 Now go back to the first equation.


x%2B9%287%29=66 Plug in y=7.


x%2B63=66 Multiply.


x=66-63 Subtract 63 from both sides.


x=3 Combine like terms on the right side.


So the solutions are x=3 and y=7.


Which form the ordered pair .


This means that the system is consistent and independent.


Notice when we graph the equations, we see that they intersect at . So this visually verifies our answer.


Graph of x%2B9y=66 (red) and -x%2B9y=60 (green)

Looking at y=%286%2F5%29x%2B6 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=6%2F5 and the y-intercept is b=6


Since b=6 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is 6%2F5, this means:

rise%2Frun=6%2F5


which shows us that the rise is 6 and the run is 5. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 6 and over 5



So starting at , go up 6 units


and to the right 5 units to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=%286%2F5%29x%2B6

So this is the graph of y=%286%2F5%29x%2B6 through the points and

Since f(1)=2 and f(3) = -1, this means that the line goes through the points (1,2) and (3,-1)


Note: is the first point . So this means that x%5B1%5D=1 and y%5B1%5D=2.
Also, is the second point . So this means that x%5B2%5D=3 and y%5B2%5D=-1.


m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the slope formula.


m=%28-1-2%29%2F%283-1%29 Plug in y%5B2%5D=-1, y%5B1%5D=2, x%5B2%5D=3, and x%5B1%5D=1


m=%28-3%29%2F%283-1%29 Subtract 2 from -1 to get -3


m=%28-3%29%2F%282%29 Subtract 1 from 3 to get 2


So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is m=-3%2F2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Start with the given system of equations:
system%283x%2B4y=2%2C6x%2B8y=4%29


-2%283x%2B4y%29=-2%282%29 Multiply the both sides of the first equation by -2.


-6x-8y=-4 Distribute and multiply.


So we have the new system of equations:
system%28-6x-8y=-4%2C6x%2B8y=4%29


Now add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this:


%28-6x-8y%29%2B%286x%2B8y%29=%28-4%29%2B%284%29


%28-6x%2B6x%29%2B%28-8y%2B8y%29=-4%2B4 Group like terms.


0x%2B0y=0 Combine like terms.


0=0Simplify.


Since 0=0 is always true, this means that there are an infinite number of solutions. So the system is consistent and dependent.

ln%282%5E%28x%2B1%29%29=ln%28e%5Ex%29 Take the natural log of both sides.


%28x%2B1%29ln%282%29=x%2Aln%28e%29 Pull down the exponents using the identity ln%28x%5Ey%29=y%2Aln%28x%29%29


%28x%2B1%29ln%282%29=x%2A1 Evaluate the natural log of 'e' to get 1.


%28x%2B1%29ln%282%29=x Multiply


x%2Aln%282%29%2Bln%282%29=x Distribute


ln%282%29=x-x%2Aln%282%29 Subtract x%2Aln%282%29 from both sides.


ln%282%29=x%281-ln%282%29%29 Factor out the GCF 'x'


ln%282%29%2F%281-ln%282%29%29=x Divide both sides by 1-ln%282%29.


So the solution is x=ln%282%29%2F%281-ln%282%29%29

Looking at y=%283%2F2%29x%2B2 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=3%2F2 and the y-intercept is b=2


Since b=2 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is 3%2F2, this means:

rise%2Frun=3%2F2


which shows us that the rise is 3 and the run is 2. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 3 and over 2



So starting at , go up 3 units


and to the right 2 units to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=%283%2F2%29x%2B2

So this is the graph of y=%283%2F2%29x%2B2 through the points and

Start with the given system of equations:
system%285m-2n=4%2C3m%2Bn=9%29


2%283m%2Bn%29=2%289%29 Multiply the both sides of the second equation by 2.


6m%2B2n=18 Distribute and multiply.


So we have the new system of equations:
system%285m-2n=4%2C6m%2B2n=18%29


Now add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this:

%285m%2B6m%29%2B%28-2n%2B2n%29=4%2B18 Group like terms.


11m%2B0n=22 Combine like terms.


11m=22 Simplify.


m=%2822%29%2F%2811%29 Divide both sides by 11 to isolate m.


m=2 Reduce.


------------------------------------------------------------------


5m-2n=4 Now go back to the first equation.


5%282%29-2n=4 Plug in m=2.


10-2n=4 Multiply.


-2n=4-10 Subtract 10 from both sides.


-2n=-6 Combine like terms on the right side.


n=%28-6%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate n.


n=3 Reduce.


So the solutions are m=2 and n=3.

log%28%28x%5E2%2Asqrt%28y%29%29%29-log%28%28z%5E3%29%29 Break up the log using the identity log%28b%2C%28A%2FB%29%29=log%28b%2C%28A%29%29-log%28b%2C%28B%29%29


log%28%28x%5E2%29%29%2Blog%28%28sqrt%28y%29%29%29-log%28%28z%5E3%29%29 Break up the first log using the identity log%28b%2C%28A%2AB%29%29=log%28b%2C%28A%29%29%2Blog%28b%2C%28B%29%29


log%28%28x%5E2%29%29%2Blog%28%28y%5E%281%2F2%29%29%29-log%28%28z%5E3%29%29 Convert to rational exponent notation.

First let's find the slope of the line through the points and


Note: is the first point . So this means that x%5B1%5D=-6 and y%5B1%5D=-6.
Also, is the second point . So this means that x%5B2%5D=5 and y%5B2%5D=5.


m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the slope formula.


m=%285--6%29%2F%285--6%29 Plug in y%5B2%5D=5, y%5B1%5D=-6, x%5B2%5D=5, and x%5B1%5D=-6


m=%2811%29%2F%285--6%29 Subtract -6 from 5 to get 11


m=%2811%29%2F%2811%29 Subtract -6 from 5 to get 11


m=1 Reduce


So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is m=1


Now let's use the point slope formula:


y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the point slope formula


y--6=1%28x--6%29 Plug in m=1, x%5B1%5D=-6, and y%5B1%5D=-6


y--6=1%28x%2B6%29 Rewrite x--6 as x%2B6


y%2B6=1%28x%2B6%29 Rewrite y--6 as y%2B6


y%2B6=1x%2B1%286%29 Distribute


y%2B6=1x%2B6 Multiply


y=1x%2B6-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


y=1x%2B0 Combine like terms.


y=1x Remove the trailing zero


y=x Simplify


So the equation that goes through the points and is y=x


Notice how the graph of y=x goes through the points and . So this visually verifies our answer.
Graph of y=x through the points and

# 1

5x%5E2%2B9x-1=0 Start with the given equation.


Notice that the quadratic 5x%5E2%2B9x-1 is in the form of Ax%5E2%2BBx%2BC where A=5, B=9, and C=-1


Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for "x":


x+=+%28-B+%2B-+sqrt%28+B%5E2-4AC+%29%29%2F%282A%29 Start with the quadratic formula


x+=+%28-%289%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%289%29%5E2-4%285%29%28-1%29+%29%29%2F%282%285%29%29 Plug in A=5, B=9, and C=-1


x+=+%28-9+%2B-+sqrt%28+81-4%285%29%28-1%29+%29%29%2F%282%285%29%29 Square 9 to get 81.


x+=+%28-9+%2B-+sqrt%28+81--20+%29%29%2F%282%285%29%29 Multiply 4%285%29%28-1%29 to get -20


x+=+%28-9+%2B-+sqrt%28+81%2B20+%29%29%2F%282%285%29%29 Rewrite sqrt%2881--20%29 as sqrt%2881%2B20%29


x+=+%28-9+%2B-+sqrt%28+101+%29%29%2F%282%285%29%29 Add 81 to 20 to get 101


x+=+%28-9+%2B-+sqrt%28+101+%29%29%2F%2810%29 Multiply 2 and 5 to get 10.


x+=+%28-9%2Bsqrt%28101%29%29%2F%2810%29 or x+=+%28-9-sqrt%28101%29%29%2F%2810%29 Break up the expression.


So the solutions are x+=+%28-9%2Bsqrt%28101%29%29%2F%2810%29 or x+=+%28-9-sqrt%28101%29%29%2F%2810%29


which approximate to x=0.105 or x=-1.905

4x%5E2%2B12x%2B7=0 Start with the given equation.


Notice that the quadratic 4x%5E2%2B12x%2B7 is in the form of Ax%5E2%2BBx%2BC where A=4, B=12, and C=7


Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for "x":


x+=+%28-B+%2B-+sqrt%28+B%5E2-4AC+%29%29%2F%282A%29 Start with the quadratic formula


x+=+%28-%2812%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%2812%29%5E2-4%284%29%287%29+%29%29%2F%282%284%29%29 Plug in A=4, B=12, and C=7


x+=+%28-12+%2B-+sqrt%28+144-4%284%29%287%29+%29%29%2F%282%284%29%29 Square 12 to get 144.


x+=+%28-12+%2B-+sqrt%28+144-112+%29%29%2F%282%284%29%29 Multiply 4%284%29%287%29 to get 112


x+=+%28-12+%2B-+sqrt%28+32+%29%29%2F%282%284%29%29 Subtract 112 from 144 to get 32


x+=+%28-12+%2B-+sqrt%28+32+%29%29%2F%288%29 Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.


x+=+%28-12+%2B-+4%2Asqrt%282%29%29%2F%288%29 Simplify the square root (note: If you need help with simplifying square roots, check out this solver)


x+=+%28-12%2B4%2Asqrt%282%29%29%2F%288%29 or x+=+%28-12-4%2Asqrt%282%29%29%2F%288%29 Break up the expression.


x+=+%28-3%2Bsqrt%282%29%29%2F%282%29 or x+=+%28-3-sqrt%282%29%29%2F%282%29 Reduce.


So the solutions are x+=+%28-3%2Bsqrt%282%29%29%2F%282%29 or x+=+%28-3-sqrt%282%29%29%2F%282%29


which approximate to x=-0.793 or x=-2.207
