Answer:
y = -3x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two points so we can find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)
m = (-3-0)/(0--1)
= (-3-0)/(0+1)
= -3/1
= -3
We have the slope and the y intercept (where x=0) The y intercept is -3
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = -3x -3
Answer:
x = - 5, y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x + 2y = - 9 → (1)
4x - 2y = - 26 → (2)
Adding (1) and (2) term by term eliminates the y- term, that is
7x = - 35 ( divide both sides by 7 )
x = - 5
Substitute x = - 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
3(- 5) + 2y = - 9
- 15 + 2y = - 9 ( add 15 to both sides )
2y = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )
y = 3
4/3x - 1/2 = 0 Given
4/3x = 1/2 Add 1/2 to both sides
x = 3/8 Multiply each side by 3/4
It is important when doing equations like these to remember that you need to multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction, not divide by it. For example, if another you have 1/2x = 1, you need to multiply by 2/1 or 2, not divide by 1/2.
⓵ You need to solve the left side first in order to isolate the × and find it’s value :
-7× + 6 = 27
-6 -6
↓
-7× = 21
÷-7 ÷-7
↓
× = -3
If you find it too difficult to divide a number by a negative, just divide 21 by 7 and always remember that when dividing, when the signs are different the answer is negative. So knowing that you could just divide 21 by 7, which is 3, and add a negative sign in front!
I hope this helped, if there’s anything let me know! ☻
