Input 3y+11 for x
2(3y+11)-3y=16
6y+22-3y=16
3y= -6
Divide by 3 to isolate y
y=-2
Now for x....
x=3(-2)+11
=-6+11
=5
x=5
Coordinates (5,-2)
The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
