Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First create the equation that has slope of -1 in the form of y=mx+b. Because the slope is -1, m=-1, so the equation is y=-x+b. Now we see that we are given the point (-3, 8) as an intersection point. Substitute x and y for -3 and 8 in our equation. With this information, our equation becomes 8=3+b. Solving, b=5. Our equation is now y=-x+5.

Simplifying all of the answer choices, we have

A. y=-x-5

B. y=-x+5

C. y=-x-5

D. and E. as what they already show

The only answer that matches is B.

7x + 8y = 25 9x + 10y =35 elimination method please

$7x +8y = 25 ~~~....(i)\\\\9x +10y = 35~~~ ....(ii)\\\\\text{Multiply equation (ii) by}~ \dfrac 79 ~ \text{and do (ii) - (i):}\\\\\dfrac 79 (9x +10y) - (7x +8y) = \dfrac 79 (35) - 25\\\\\\\implies 7x +\dfrac{70y}9 - 7x -8y = \dfrac{245}9 -25\\\\\\\implies - \dfrac{2y}9 = \dfrac{20}9\\\\\\\implies -2y =20\\\\\implies y =-10\\\\\text{Substitute}~ y = -10~ \text{in equation (i):}\\\\\\7x +8(-10) = 25\\\\\implies 7x = 25 +80\\\\\implies 7x = 105 \\\\\implies x =15\\\\$
