Since (3/2 x) and (-1/2 x + 4) are both equal to the same thing,
they must be equal to each other.

So you can write 3/2 x = -1/2 x + 4 .

Use that equation to find the value of 'x'.

Then write that value in place of 'x' in either one
of the original equations to get 'y'.

Now you can solve it yourself, faster than I can write the solution here.

What is the point-slope form of a line with slope -5 that contains the point<br> a<br> (2,-1)?

The point-slope form the line which has the value of slope -5 and contains a point as A(2,-1) is (y+1)=-5(x-2).

<h3>What is point slope form?</h3>

The point slope form of a line is the expression of line which has a specified slope and passes through a point.

The point slope form is givne as,

(y-y₁)=m(x-x₁)

Here, m is the slope of the line, x₁ is the x coordinate of the point by which line passes and y₁ is the y coordinate of the same point.

The slope of a line is -5. This line contains the point A (2,-1). Thus, the point slope form is,

(y-y₁)=m(x-x₁)

(y-(-1))=-5(x-2)
