Answer:
Slope (m) = 3, y-intercept (b) = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to write the equation in y = mx + b.
To do this, add 3x to both sides.
y = 3x - 1 is your result.
Now, we have everything we need to do determine our slope and y-intercept in just this equation alone.
Remember, m = slope and b = y-intercept.
In this equation:
m = 3
b = -1
So your slope is 3, and your y-intercept is -1

Answer:
B (5, 13)
Step-by-step explanation:
9x + 4y = 97
9x + 6y = 123
To solve by elimination, we want to <em>eliminate</em> a variable. To do this, we must make one variable cancel out.
First, we can see that both equations have 9x. To cancel out x, we must make <em>one</em> of the 9x's <em>negative</em>. To do this, multiply <em>each term</em> in the equation by -1.
-1(9x + 6y = 123)
-9x - 6y = -123
This is one of your equations. Set it up with your other given equation.
9x + 4y = 97
-9x - 6y = -123
Imagine this is one equation. Since every term is negative, you will be subtracting each term.
9x + 4y = 97
-9x - 6y = -123
___________
0x -2y = -26
-2y = -26
To isolate y further, divide both sides by -2.
y = 13
Now, to find x, plug y back into one of the original equations.
9x + 4(13) = 97
Multiply.
9x + 52 = 97
Subtract.
9x = 45
Divide.
x = 5
Check your answer by plugging both variables into the equation you have not used yet.
-9(5) - 6(13) = -123
-45 - 78 = -123
-123 = -123
Your answer is correct!
