Answer: Y=-1 or Y=-1+4
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Use the formula y2- y1 over x2-x1 so it should look like this 1-3 over 3-1 which is -2 over 2 then you divide that which is -1 and if you have to find one all you have to do is use one point label which is x and y so I pick (1,3) so you put 3=-1(1) once you have that you multipy so -1 times 1 is -1 so your gonna add 1 to the -1 and the three the -1 cancel out because it is a zero pair 3+1 is 4 so B=4 </h3>
So let's start by guesstimating the slopes:
the green line has a slope close to -x, but more negative than that, possibly -2; the pink line has a slope close to +x, but higher towards +2.
Next let's look at the solution: the two lines intersect at the point (1, -1).
**you could just simple plug that x (1) into all the equations, but let's rule out answers anyway. ;)
A) is incorrect because the slopes of -1 and +1 are off from out predicted -2 and +2
B) is incorrect because of a similar reason, the slopes of +3 and +1 don't make any sense
C) Ooh, we do have a +2 and -2 for the slopes, and... violà! plug in 1 for the x's and we get -1 for the y in both equations
D) slopes are closer than in A and B, but plugging in 1 doesn't get us -1
So the correct answer is:
C) y = 2x - 3 and y = −2x + 1
rs + st = rt Plug in the values
3x + 1 + 2x - 2 = 64 Combine like terms (1 and -2)
3x -1 + 2x = 64 Combine like terms (3x and 2x)
-1 + 5x = 64 Add 1 to both sides
5x = 65 Divide both sides by 5
x = 13
