If you already have an equation, all you have to do is locate the slope and look after it. But if it's in a graph, it's where the line is crossing the y-axis.

An example of the equation would be

y=2x+3
y=mx+b
2 would be m which is slope
and 3 would be b which is the y-intercept

Solve the following pair of simultaneous equation using elimination method.

Answer:

x = 1 and y = −2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite equations:

x + 2y = −3

3x − 2y = 7

Step 1: Solve x+2y=−3 for x:

x + 2y = −3

x + 2y + −2y = −3 + −2y (Add -2y to both sides)

x = −2y − 3

Step 2: Substitute −2y − 3 for x in 3x − 2y = 7:

3x − 2y = 7

3(−2y − 3) − 2y = 7

−8y − 9 = 7 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

−8y − 9 + 9 = 7 + 9 (Add 9 to both sides)

−8y = 16

−8y/−8 = 16/−8 (Divide both sides by -8)

y = −2

Step 3: Substitute −2 for y in x = −2y − 3:

x = −2y − 3

x = (−2)(−2) − 3

x = 1 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer: $1,835.00

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that he makes 5% of his sales plus $250 each week. He is paid $35 for each holidays and this month there are four weeks and one holiday. So, if Fernando has $4,000 in sales each week you can write the following expression:

$y=4(0.05x+250)+35$
