The slope is the change in Y over the change in X.

(-9,6) is X1 and Y1.

(-3,9) is X2 and Y2.

Slope = Y2-Y1 / X2-X1

Slope = 9 - 6 / -3 - (-9)

Slope = 3/6 = 1/2

The slope = 1/2

SOLVING SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS BY SUBSTITUTION.<br><br> 1. 2x+3y=1<br> -3x+y=15

ohaa [14]

$2x+3y=1 \\
-3x+y=15 \\ \\
\hbox{from the 2nd equation:} \\
-3x+y=15 \\
y=15+3x \\ \\
\hbox{substitute 15+3x for y in the 1st equation:} \\
2x+3(15+3x)=1 \\
2x+45+9x=1 \\
9x+2x=1-45 \\
11x=-44 \\
x=-4 \\ \\
\hbox{solve one of the equations for y}: \\
2x+3y=1 \\
2 \cdot (-4) + 3y=1 \\
-8+3y=1 \\
3y=1+8 \\
3y=9 \\
y=3 \\ \\
\hbox{the answer:} \\
x=-4 \\
y=3$
