→ a
the equation is y = mx ( where m is the slope / constant of variation )
calculate m using the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁) = (0, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 1) ← 2 points on the line
m =
= 
Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Note how "2x" shows up in both equations. This suggests doing a substitution to solve the system.
Focus first on the first equation. Solving 2x - y = 7 for 2x, we get:
2x = y + 7.
Next, we substitute y + 7 for 2x in the second equation:
y = (y + 7) + 3.
Simplifying this produces:
0 = 10
This is not true and can never be true. Thus, this system has no solution.
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope= rise/run
Since the line is decreasing, it will be negative.
5-2x+2y is the answer because if you add the (y) together that equals 2y and then you just keep the 5-2x together.
