solution is (4, - 7 )
given the equations
y = 2x - 15 → (1)
4x + 3y = - 5 → (2)
substitute y = 2x - 15 into (2)
4x + 3(2x - 15) = - 5
4x + 6x - 45 = - 5
10x - 45 = - 5 ( add 45 to both sides )
10x = 40 ( divide both sides by 10 )
x = 4
substitute x = 4 into (1) for corresponding value of y
y = (2 × 4 ) - 15 = 8 - 15 = - 7
solution is (4, - 7 )
Hi there! The answer is 3, 6, 7, and 9.
1,2,4,5,8, and 10 cannot be put as denominators because if so, there would be:
1. no decimals
2. termination after one or two decimal places.
Cheers!

To do this, you can just multiply across. 3 times 1 equals 3 so your numerator is 3. 2 times 4 equals 8. Then, your answer would be 3/8. Hope this helps :)
I'm a little confused by this. 1/2 is too big, but 1 1/2 is too small?
The slope would be 3/2. The formula is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) which is (6-3)/(8-4)= 3/2
