Hi there!
The general formula of A line in slope-intercept form is the following:

In this formula m represents the slope of the line. Therefore, we can conclude that m = 2/5.

We also know that the line passes through the point (-3, -1) and we can therefore substitute this coordinate into the formula of the line.
x = -3 and y = -1

Multiply first.

And finally add 1 1/5 to both sides of the equation.

We can now switch sides.

Now we've found our value of n, which we can substitute into the formula of our line. Hence, in slope-intercept form, we find the following:
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Her son is 10 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let son be x
Ellie is 4x
In 5 years time: Her son = x + 5
Ellie = 4x + 5
Given that she will then be 3 times as old as her son: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5)
Solve x: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5) ,4x + 5 = 3x + 15
x = 10
For this case we have the following system of equations:

We multiply the first equation by -5:

Thus, we have the equivalent system:

We add the equations:

We find the value of the variable "x":

Thus, the solution of the system is:
