First, you need to isolate the x in the first equation. -x + 5y = 1 Subtract 5y from both sides, leaving you with the following equation: -x = 1-5y Because you are trying to solve for positive x and not negative x, you need to make x positive. Therefore you divide both sides by -1. In Algebra, when 1 is the coefficient of the variable, it is not shown, but it is still there. The new equation will be the following: x = 5y-1 Now you just need to substitute the x within the second equation for the x equation we just solved for.
Therefore, the right answer will be 2(5y-1)+4y= -4. Now, all you have to do is choose the answer that states exactly that, which is the first choice.
Simply take your pre-image (point before applying transformation) of point B (4,-5) and apply the transformation to each point. Therefore, (x,y) = (4+2,-5-8) = (6,-13)
