Y = 3x + 3 this is equation 1
y = x -1 this is equation 2
since equation 1 and 2 already defined y in terms of x, we're just gonna substitute y into the other equation. as 2 is shorter I'm going with that today
x - 1 = 3x +3
-1 - 3 = 3x - x
-4 = 2x
x = -2
now we've got x just sub it in equation 2
y = -2 -1
y = -3
so the answer is (-2,-3)
<span>Simplifying
4x = 92
Solving
4x = 92
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '4'.
x = 23
Simplifying
x = 23</span>
If we were to draw a best fit line, the y-interest would be near 15, and the slope would be negative.
In the options given, the slope is either -3 or -13. If we imagine a line through the plotted points, the rise would be about 15 while the run would be about 5. This means the slope is about -3.
The best answer is y = -3x + 15
We know that the equation of the line is in the form 
. To find b, we can use the fact that (6,-5) lies on the line, meaning that both sides of the equation are equal when x=6 and y=-5.
Hence, the equation of the line is 
, and its graph looks something like follows.
