to get the slope of a line, we only need two points, notice, the grid is using 2 numbers per line, so the point on the bottom-left is (-6,0) and the one on the upper-right is (6,4), so let's use those points.
5x+3y=-9
-2x+y=8
The first step is the trickery (and quite frankly, hardest to explain) part. You need to multiply one equation by a number that will create one variable to be the negative version of the other...(Confusing, right? Don't worry, I'll show you)
We are going to solve for X first.
We will multiply the second equation by -3
5x+3y=-9
-3(-2x+y)=(-3)8
Now simplify:
5x+3y= -9
6x-3y= -24
Now combine the two equations (add them together)
11x= -33
Divide by 11
X=-3
Now plug X in to one of the first equations:
5(-3)+3y= -9
-15+3y =-9
3Y= 6
Y= 2
So your final answer is:
x= -3
Y= 2
Hope this helps!

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Note how this drawing is symmetrical about a horizontal line drawn halfway between AB and CD and passing through the origin.
Line AB has been subdivided into two equal pieces of length 15, so the length of AB is twice 15, or 30. Due to the symmetry shown, line CD has the same length: 30.
