If 7:5 = (x + 2y): (x - y), find the value of
5y

5/2 OR 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

( x + 2y ) = 7 , ( x - 2y ) = 5

x = 7 - 2y , x = 5 + 2y

substitute the two eqns together:

7 - 2y = 5 + 2y

7 - 5 = 2y + 2y

2 = 4y

y = 1/2

when y = 1/2 ,

5y = 5(1/2)

= 5/2 OR 2.5

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
