Find the value of B - A, if the graph of Ax + By = 3 passes through the point (-7,2), and is parallel to the graph of x + 3y = -5.

The found values are:

A = 1/3

B = -8/3

We know that general equation is given by:

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is a constant.

x + 3y = -5

y = -(1/3)x - 1/3(5)

Slop of the equation is -(1/3). As parallel line have same slope substitute it in the first equation:

Ax + By = 3

By = -Ax - 3

By = (1/3)x - 3

Hence, A = 1/3

Substitute point (-7,2) into the equation:

B(2) = (1/3)(-7) -3

B(2) = -7/3 - 3

B(2) = -16/3

B = -16/6

B = -8/3

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -12x + 36 + y^2 = 36

x^2 + y^2 = 12x

r^2 = 12rcos(theta)

r = 12 cos(theta)
