Answer:

first number= 19/5

second number= 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

first number= a

second number= b

a+3b=5   equation 1

b+2a=8  equation 2

using equation 2 we have

b=8-2a

using equation 1 we have

a+3(8-2a)=5  

a+24-6a=5

24-5=6a-a

19=5a

a=19/5 = first number

so using b=8-2a

we have

b=8-2(19/5)

b=8-(38/5)

b=2/5 = second number

Point slope is y-y1=m(x-x1)
Keep y and x as they are (do not plug anything in for those).
Variable m is the slope.
x1 and y1 are part of the point, which is in (x, y) form.
With the information given, plug each into the equation.
m= 2 (It's the slope)
x1=-8
y1=5
Put these variables into the equation like this-
y-5=2(x--8)
The two negatives cancel out (between x and 8) so your final answer is-
y-5=2(x+8)
