Answer:
1.
-3x + 8y = -5
6x + 2y = -8
Set the equations to a common variable.
-3x + 8y = -5 → 8y = 3x - 5 → y = 3/8x - 5/8
6x + 2y = -8 → 2y = -6x - 8 → y = -3x - 4
Set the equations equal to each other.
3/8x - 5/8 = -3x - 4
Combine like terms.
3x + 3/8x = -4 + 5/8
3.375x = -3.375
Divide by 3.375
x = -1
Plug x back in to find y.
-3x + 8y = -5
-3(-1) + 8y = -5
3 + 8y = -5
8y = -8
y = -1
answer: (-1, -1)
2.
3x + 2y = -16
-3x - 8y = 46
Set the equations to a common variable.
3x + 2y = -16 → 2y = -3x - 16 → y = -3/2x - 8
-3x - 8y = 46 → -8y = 3x + 46 → y = -3/8x - 23/4
Set the equations equal to each other.
-3/2x - 8 = -3/8x - 23/4
Combine like terms.
-9/8x = 9/4
or
-1.125x = 2.25
Divide by -1.125
x = -2
Plug x back in to find y.
3(-2) + 2y = -16
-6 + 2y = -16
2y = -10
y = -5
answer: (-2, -5)
Answer:(6,-1)
Explanation:The slope of the line can be calculated using the following formula:
slope =
We are given that:slope = -0.75
point (x1,y1) is (-2,5)
We will use each of the given points to calculate the corresponding slope, then compare the calculated slope with the given one.
For point (6,-1):slope =

= -0.75 ........> accepted choice
For point (2,8):slope =

= 0.75 ........> rejected choice
For point (-5,1):slope =

= 4/3 ........> rejected choice
For point (1,1):slope =

= -4/3 ........> rejected choice
Therefore, the first option is the only correct one.
Hope this helps :)
