The answer is y= -2x +9

The point-slope formula is y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

m=the slope (-2) and the x₁ and y₁ are our given points

So now all we have to do is plug in and we get the equation y+1=-2(x-5)

That can be simplified to y = -2x +9

4x – 3y=8<br> 2. 5x – 2y = -11

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

$x = -7$

$y = - 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is:

4x-3y=8

5x-2y=-11

We make x the subject in the top equation to get:

$x = \frac{3}{4}y + 2$

Plug this expression for x in the bottom equation to get

$5( \frac{3}{4}y + 2) - 2y= - 11$

We expand to obtain

$\frac{15}{4} y + 10 - 2y = - 11$

Multiply through by 4

$15y + 40 - 8y = - 44$

Group similar terms

$15y - 8y = - 44 - 40$

$7y = - 84$

$y = - \frac{84}{7} =-12$

This means

$x = -12\times \frac{3}{4} + 2$

$x = - 7$
