Idk u tell me cause im not the one
X*y=72
x = 5y-2
x=72/y
72/y=5y-2
72=5y^2-2y
5y^2 -2y - 72 = 0
(5y+18)(y-4)=0
y = -18/5 discard
or y = 4
4x=72
x=18
(18,4)
<h3>
<u>Explanation</u></h3>
- Convert the equation into slope-intercept form.

where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
What we have to do is to make the y-term as the subject of equation.


From y = mx+b, the slope is 3.
