How do I solve -5x+2y=6

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: x = (2 y)/5 - 6/5 , y = (5 x)/2 + 3

Solve for x:
2 y - 5 x = 6
Subtract 2 y from both sides:
-5 x = 6 - 2 y
Divide both sides by -5:
Answer: x = (2 y)/5 - 6/5
Solve for y:
2 y - 5 x = 6
Add 5 x to both sides:
2 y = 5 x + 6
Divide both sides by 2:
Answer: y = (5 x)/2 + 3

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line shown. (-4,0) and (1,-5)

Irina18 [472]

The slope intercept form is y = -x - 4

To find the slope intercept form given a couple of points, start by finding the slope using the slope equation.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-5 - 0)/(1 - -4)

m = -5/5

m = -1

Now we look for the intercept using slope intercept form, our slope and a point.

y = mx + b

0 = -4(-1) + b

0 = 4 + b

-4 = b

Now we can use those two things top model the equation.

y = -x - 4

Hello there.

<span>There were 196 students that participated in a clean-up event at a nearby lake. this is one fourth of the entire student population. write and solve an equation to find the number of students at this school.

Answer: x is the number of students in the school.
</span> $\frac{x}{4}$ = 196.
<span>196 x 4 = 784.
Therefore the number of students in this school is 784.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying ^-^</span>
