Graphs/719265: How many solutions does the system have ? x+2y=-3 2x+4y=-6 1 solutions Answer 441287 by solver91311(16877)   on 2013-02-26 16:14:21 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Multiply the first equation by 2. Notice that both equations are now identical. Hence, any ordered pair that satisfies one of the equations satisfies the other. So the number of solutions of one of the equations is the number of solutions of the system. John Egw to Beta kai to Sigma My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Linear-systems/719280: Please please please help! The problem is: Write and equation in standard form of the line that passes through (7,-3) and has a y-intercept of 2. I put (incorrectly) my answer as 2=7x-3. Can you help? 1 solutions Answer 441284 by solver91311(16877)   on 2013-02-26 16:09:36 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! In the first place, your line does not have a -intercept of 2. A -intercept is a point and a point is designated by an ordered pair. -intercepts have the feature that the -coordinate is zero. So, presuming that you (or your instructor) actually meant to say that the -coordinate of the -intercept is 2, then the -intercept is the point Now use the two-point form of an equation whose solution set is a set of ordered pairs that comprise a line: where and are the coordinates of the given points. Do the indicated arithmetic and then rearrange the equation so that it is in form. Some teachers/professors/instructors/textbook authors demand that , , and be integers to be proper Standard Form.

Triangles/719271: How do you find the area of a triangle using the measurements 15.7 9.4 and 12.6? Thanks so much! 1 solutions Answer 441277 by solver91311(16877)   on 2013-02-26 15:59:50 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use Herons's formula. The area of a triangle with sides , , and is given by: Where is the semiperimeter, that is, the perimeter divided by 2. Calculate the semiperimeter and then just do the arithmetic. Since the least precise given measurement is to the nearest tenth, round your answer to the nearest tenth. John Egw to Beta kai to Sigma My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
