X = – 2y – 1
x = – 5y + 5

x = -5

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x = – 2y – 1

= -x - 2y - 1

-x - 2y = 1

x = – 5y + 5

= -x - 5y + 5

-x - 5y = -5

-x - 2y = 1

-x - 5y = -5

--

3y = 6

y = 6/3

y = 2

-x - 2y = 1

-x - 2(2) = 1

-x - 4 = 1

-x = 1 + 4

-x = 5

x = -5

answer: the distance

step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the distance d of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula d (x2 x1)2 (y2 y1)2. to calculate the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula
