Answer:
a = 8; b = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Filling in the given values gives you two equations.
7 = a(2) +b
-1 = a(1) +b
Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...
(7) -(-1) = (2a +b) -(a +b)
8 = a . . . . . simplify
Using this value in the first equation gives ...
7 = (8)(2) +b
b = 7 -16 = -9
The constants are a = 8, b = -9.

Answer:
x = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 3) - 5 =
(x - 1)
Multiply through by 8 to clear the fractions
6(x - 3) - 40 = x - 1 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
6x - 18 - 40 = x - 1
6x - 58 = x - 1 ( subtract x from both sides )
5x - 58 = - 1 ( add 58 to both sides )
5x = - 57 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = - 
Answer:
y = 1/6x -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Use point-slope form: y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y - (-2) = 1/6 (x - (-6))
y + 2 = 1/6x + 1
y = 1/6x - 1
