Answer:
x = - 8/23
y = 40/23
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x- y = 0
and
-8x+3y = 8
The first step to solve this would be to get what one of the two variables equal. The easiest in this case is y from the first equation.
-5x-y = 0
-y = 5x
y = - 5x
Now you can take this y value and plug it into the section equation.
-8x + 3(-5x) = 8
-8x - 15x = 8
-23x = 8
x = - (8/23)
Once you get the x value you can plug it back into equation one to get y's value
-5*-(8/23) - y = 0
40/23 - y = 0
y = 40/23
You would shift this to the right 8 places. This is because in vertex form, the x value is the opposite of the number in the parenthesis with the x.
Answer: the slope is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
m = 7-3 / -2+6
m = 4/4
m=1
