Answer:

y = -2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is found by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-1-5)/(1--2)

= -6/(1+2)

= -6/3

= -2

Then we can use point slope form to make an equation

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-5 = -2(x--2)

y-5 = -2(x+2)

Distribute

y-5 = -2x -4

Add 5 to each side

y-5+5 = -2x-4+5

y = -2x+1

This is in point slope form

Consider this system on linear equations y-x=-31 -4x+3y=-51

abruzzese [7]

Answer: x=-42 and y=-73

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

$y-x=-31$ .........[1]

$-4x+3y=-51$ .......[2]

Multiplying [1] by 4 we have

$-4x+4y=-124$ ........[3]

$-4x+3y=-51$ ........[4]

Subtracting [4] from [3]

$-4x+4x+4y-3y=-124+51$

⇒ y=-73

Putting it in [1]

$-73-x=-31$

Adding 73 both sides

$-73+73-x=-31+73$

-x=42

Multiplying both sides by -1

x=-42

Please help with the 2 questions ive attached, i dont understand it at all

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Consider the denominator

To obtain 5xy from x , multiply by 5y

Thus numerator is multiplied by 5y, that is

$\frac{1}{x}$ = $\frac{5y}{5xy}$

(b)

Consider the numerator

To obtain 5ab² from ab, multiply by 5b

Thus denominator is multiplied by 5b, that is

$\frac{ab}{2c}$ = $\frac{5ab^2}{10bc}$
