Answer:

y = -1/3x - 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the ratio of vertical distance to horizontal distance between the points. Since the line has to cross through the point (-5,0), count out the slope -1/3 by moving down 1 unit and to the right 3 units. This places the line between -1 and -2 on the y-axis. Looking at the options listed for b in y = mx + b. b = -5/3 is the best option and is between -1 and -2.

Sam receives the following scores on his English tests: 63, 84, and 96. What average score does he need on the last two tests in

OLEGan [10]

Sam would have to get a 97 on his next test in order to maintain his average score at an 85. This is because if you add up 63, 84, 96, and 97 you get 340. When you divide 340 by the 4 test scores you get an average of exactly 85

Solve the linear system using substitution

levacccp [35]

Hello there!

3x - y = 3
-x + y = 3

We need to solve 3x - y = 3 for y

Let start by adding -3x to both sides

3x - y = 3

3x - 3x - y = 3 - 3x

-y = 3 - 3x
We cannot leave the variable with a negative sign. We must multiply both sides by -1

-y * -1= (3 - 3x)-1

y = 3x - 3

Substitute 3x -3 for y in -x+y=3

-x + y = 3

-x + 3x - 3 = 3

2x - 3 = 3

2x = 3 + 3

2x = 6

x = 6/2

x = 3

Now substitute 3 for x in y=3x -3

y = 3x - 3

y = 3(3) - 3

y= 9 - 3

y= 6

Thus,

The answer is x=3 and y=6
