Answer:

x < -7

Step-by-step explanation:

An inequality is solved similar to an equation with the exception that when multiplying or dividing by a negative coefficient, the sign must flip in the other direction. The original inequality is:

-6x > 42

To solve, you need to divide both sides of the inequality by -6, however, since you are dividing by a negative coefficient, the sign need to flip the other way:

-6x/-6 > 42/-6 = x < -7

what is the y intercept of the line with s slope of -5 that also passes through the points (- 1/6 , 1) ?

Pepsi [2]

slope = -5

given point is (-1/6,1)

Use point slope formula

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

m = -5 , x1 = -1/6 and y1 =1

Plug in all the values in the formula

$y - (1) =-5(x - (\frac{-1}{6}))$

$y-1 = -5x - (\frac{5}{6})$

Add 1 on boths ides

$y=-5x + \frac{1}{6}$

y intercept is the constant value

Here y intercept is 1/6

y = 4x – 10 y = 2 what is the solution to the system of equations? a.(3, 2) b.(2, 3) c.(–2, 2) d.(2, –2)

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Substitution!
y = 4x – 10...(1)
y = 2...(2)

You have y=2 here, substitute it in equation (1),
y = 4x – 10
2 = 4x – 10
Add both sides by 10
12=4x
Divide both sides by 4
x=3

We have x=3, and y=2. ==> (x,y) = (3,2)
