First you have to set up your equation. 5x+80 and x+15.
y = -1 + 3/8x
2x - 5y = 6
Substitute the first equation into the second equation, since y is already by itself.
2x - 5(-1 + 3/8x) = 6
2x + 5 - 15/8x = 6
2x - 15/8x = 1
16/8x - 15/8x = 1
1/8x = 1 Multiply 8 on both sides to get x by itself
x = 8
Plug x into either of the equations.
y = -1 + 3/8(8)
y = -1 + 3
y = 2
2(8) - 5y = 6
16 - 5y = 6
-5y = -10
y = 2
(8,2)
Answer:
The domain is all real numbers and the range is all real numbers as-well.
As x approaches infinity, so does y.
As x approaches -infinity, so does y.
