The line with equation ax+by=20 passes through the points(-2,10) and (1,5)
find a and b

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: ax+by=20 \n \n(-2,10) \n \n a*(-2)+b*10 = 20 \n \n-2a +10b = 20 \n \n (1,5)\n \n a*1+b*5 = 20 \n \n a +5b = 20
 
\begin{cases} -2a+10b =20\n a+5b =20 \ /*2\end{cases} \n \n\begin{cases} -2a+10b =20\n 2a+10b =40 \end{cases}\n--------\n 20b=60 \ / :20 \n \nb=(60)/(20) =3

-2a+10b=20 \n \n-2a +10*3=20 \n \n-2a +30=20\n \n-2a=20-30\n \n-2a=-10 \ /: (-2)

a=(10)/(2)=5\n \n\begin{cases} a= 5 \nb=3\end{cases}




Answer 2
Answer: ax+by=20\n\nfor\ (-2;\ 10)\to x=-2;\ y=10\ substitute\n\n-2a+10b=20\n\nfor\ (1;\ 5)\to x=1;\ y=5\ substitute\n\n1a+5b=20\n\n\n \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-2a+10b=20&/:2\na+5b=20\end{array}\right
+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-a+5b=10\na+5b=20\end{array}\right\n------------\n.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ 10b=30\ \ \ \ /:10\n.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ b=3\n\n\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}b=3\na+5b=20\end{array}\right\n\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}b=3\na+5\cdot3=20\end{array}\right\n\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}b=3\na+15=20\end{array}\right\n\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}b=3\na=20-15\end{array}\right\n\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}b=3\na=5\end{array}\right


Answer:a=5\ and\ b=3\to5x+3y=20.
