$(-34, 72) and (31, 27) \\x1 = - 34 \\ y1 = 72 \\ x2 = 31 \\ y2 = 27 \\$

$m \: = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \\ m \: = \frac{27 - 72}{31 - ( - 34)} \\ m \: = \frac{ - 45}{65}$

$m \: = \frac{ - 9}{13}$

Graph the system of equations on graph paper to answer the question. Y=2/5x+4 and y=2x+12 what is the solution for this system o

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Solution of the given equations is (-5,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the following system of equations:

y = (2/5)x + 4

y = 2x + 12

The solution of the system of equation can be found by finding the point of intersection of both lines on the graph. The graph of both equations is attached below.

As we can see that both the lines intersect each other at one point, and that point is (-5,2). So the solution of the given equations is (-5,2)
