PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK ASAP IF U DONT SHOW ALL WORK I WILL REPORT U!!!!!!

Laura graphs these equations and finds that the lines intersect at a single point, ( 1.5, -1/5)

EQUATION A: = -2y +6x=12

EQUATION B: 4x+12y=-12

Which statement is true about the values x= 1.5 and y= -1.5

A. They satisfy equation A but not equation B

B. They satisfy equation B but not equation A

C. They are the only values that make the equation true

D. They show that the lines are perpendiculer

Answer:

They are the only values that make the equation true

Explanation:

Equation A =
-2y +6x=12

Equation B:
4x+12y=-12

Intersection point (1.5,-1.5)

Option A. They satisfy equation A but not equation B


-2y +6x=12

Substitute x = 1.5 and y = -1.5


-2(-1.5) +6(1.5)=12


12=12

Satisfied Equation A


4x+12y=-12

Substitute x = 1.5 and y = -1.5


4(1.5)+12(-1.5)=-12


-12=-12

Satisfied Equation B

Thus Option A is Wrong.

Option B. They satisfy equation B but not equation A

Option B is wrong Proved Above

Option C : They are the only values that make the equation true

Since they are satisfying both the equations

Hence Option C is true.

Option D. They show that the lines are perpendicular


y = mx+c

Where m is the slope

Equation A =
-2y +6x=12


6x-12=2y


(6x-12)/(2)=y


3x-6=y

Thus the slope of equation A is 3


4x+12y=-12


4x-12=-12y


(4x-12)/(-12)=y


(-x)/(3)+1=y

Slope of equation B is
(-1)/(3)

Two Lines are perpendicular if their slopes are same

Thus Option D is wrong since slopes are different .

Hence Option C is true:They are the only values that make the equation true
