Answer:
x = 7, y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
solve for y for the first equation
2x + y = 20
-2x -2x , eliminate 2x
y = 20-2x
now that we have found y, substitute the y in for the second equation
-5y = -6x + 12
-5(20-2x) = -6x + 12, we just changed y into 20-2x. remember that we are multiplying all of 20 - 2x by -5
-100+10x = -6x + 12, we multiplied everything from the parathesis by -5
+100 + 100, eliminate -100
10x = -6x + 112
+6x +6x , eliminate 6x
16x = 112 , solve for x
x = 7
then y = 20 - 2x = 20 - 2*7 = 6
check:
2 * 7 + 6 = 20
20 = 20
-5 * 6 = -6 * 7 + 12
-30 = -42 + 12
-30 = -30
Answer is a
You need to find the y-intercept (aka b). You can do that by simply looking where the graph intercepts with the Y-axis.
b= 1 (positive 1 and not negative)
Now we need to find the slope by the following
Slope aka m: (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
Note: sometimes people say it’s rise/run which is the same thing as the previous formula.
Pick two points that fall on the graph. I chose (0,1) and (3,-4). Even though there are no numbers you can assume each square is a unit and count the squares.
Slope = (-4-1)/(3-0) = - 5/3
The answer will be $41.45 or $41.46 i'm not sure what you answer choices are! hope this helped!
Slope of (6, 9) & (7, 1)
To find the slope, we use the equation : m = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁
**Remember : m = slope**
Let's say that (6, 9) is our first set of points, and (7, 1) is our second.
If those are our first and second points, then we now know this :
x₁ = 6, x₂ = 7, y₁ = 9, y₂ = 1
Now that we know that, we can simply plug those points into our slope equation.
m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁
m = (1 - 9) / (7 - 6 )
Simplify.
m = -8 / 1
Simplify.
m = -8
So, our slope is -8.
