Answer:
r = -1 9/20
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 1/4 = r - 4/5
Switch sides:
r - 4/5 = -2 1/4
Add 4/5 to both sides.
r = -2 1/4 + 4/5
Change the mixed numeral into a fraction:
r = -9/4 + 4/5
The LCD is 20.
r = -45/20 + 16/20
r = -29/20
r = -1 9/20
Point slope is y-y1= m(x-x1) where m is slope
Plug the values in:
y-(-8)=3(x-8)
Simplify:
y+8=3(x-8)
3x + 2y = 39
5x - y = 13
Multiplying the last by two:
10x - 2y = 26
Adding to the first
13x = 65
x = 5
y = 5x-13 =25-13=12
Check:
3(5)+2(12)=39 good
5(5)-12=13 good
Answer: x=5, y=12
The answer for this question is 0.76
Hope this helped
