The sum of two numbers is -10. Negative three times the first number minus the second number equals 2. Find the numbers.

1 answer:

5 0

X + y = -10
-3x -y = 2
We'll try with x as a small number and y with a big number to try and balance it out.
-3 - 7 = 10
9 - 7 = 2
X = -3
Y = -7
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph y = -5x + 1 we must move 1 unit up and 5 units down plus a unit to the right

Since the slope is negative, therefore, we move down 5 units

Since the y-intercept is positive 1 then we move 1 unit up

Important Note: Start by the y-intercept first, then the slope
