Answer:

y = -x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the process of elimination, we can immediately eliminate b) (y = 2x - 3).

Why? It has a slope of 2, and our answer wants a line with a slope of -1.

y = mx + b

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept.

To find the line that goes through (2, -3), we substitute our 3 answer choices (A, C, and D) with 2 (for x-values) and -3 (for y-values).

(2, -3)

y = -x - 1

-3 = -2 - 1

-3 = -3

This statement is true

(2, -3)

y = -x - 3

-3 = -2 - 3

-3 = -5

This statement is false

(2, -3)

y = -x + 2

-3 = -2 + 2

-3 = 0

This statement is false

Therefore, the correct answer is a) y = -x - 1

Answer:

y = -x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

soo since we already know the slope we can subsitute it to the slope form equation

y = mx + b

y = -x + b

now to find the y intercept we have to subsitute the given point

-3 = -(2) + b

-3 = -2 + b

b = -1

Answer:

x = 25.35 (or 2129/84) and y = 4334.04 (or 121353/28)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are set up and ready to go with substitution. Simply just plug in the first equation to the second equation as both are equal to y.

Step 1: Replace y in <em>y = 87x + 2129 </em>with <em>171x</em>

171x = 87x + 2129

Step 2: Subtract 87 x on both sides

84x = 2129

Step 3: Divide both sides by 84 to get x

x = 2129/84 or 25.35 (rounded)

To get y, simply plug in x into one of the 2 original equations. In this case, I will use the first equation:

y = 171 (25.35)

y = 121353/28 or 4334.04 (rounded)

You can check your work by plugging both solutions into the calculator and see if they equal each other. The values for these answers are solely based on the equations, so if you write the <em>equations </em>wrong themselves, then that means you have the values wrong as well.
