Answer: 1. the negative of the conclusion is true
Y= -2+21
This is because the slope needs to be the negative reciprocal of 1/2 so the slope is -2 then you take the point (5,11) and plug that an the -2 into y=m(x)+b and you solve for b. In the end you get 21
11 ÷ 2 = 5.5

Answer:
a. (-1/2, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficients of x have opposite signs, so the x-terms can be eliminated by adding the two equations.
(2y -12x) +(3y +12x) = (16) +(9)
5y = 25 . . . . . . simplify
y = 5 . . . . . . . . .divide by 5
This matches only answer choice A.

<em>Check</em>
The other part of answer choice A is x = -1/2. We can test this to make sure it works:
2(5) -12(-1/2) = 16
10 + 6 = 16 . . . . . . true, the selected answer works OK
