Answer:
WX = 33
(x, y) = (2, 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
The hash marks tell you WX is a midline, so has the measure of the average of the two bases.
WX = (PQ +SR)/2 = (27 +39)/2 = 66/2
WX = 33
__
The hash marks also tell you ...
PW = WS
y +4x = 18 . . . . . . substitute the given expressions
and also
QX = XR
2y +x = 22 . . . . . substitute the given expressions
__
If you solve the first equation for y, you get ...
y = 18 -4x
Substituting that into the second equation gives ...
2(18-4x) +x = 22
36 -7x = 22 . . . . . . . simplify
14 = 7x . . . . . . . . . . . add 7x-22 to both sides
2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7
y = 18 -4(2) = 10 . . . find y using the above relation
The values of x and y are 2 and 10, respectively.

My favorite "quick and dirty" way to solve a set of linear equations is using a graphing calculator. It works well for integer solutions.
Answer:
y - 7 = -4/3(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
<u>Convert to point slope form</u>
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m: represents what the slope is
y - 7 = -4/3(x + 1)
<u>Distribute -4/3</u>
-4/3 * x = -4/3x
-4/3 * 1 = -4/3
y - 7 = -4/3x - 4/3
<u>Add seven in both sides</u>
21/3 -4/3 = 17/3
y = -4/3x + 17/2
<u>Answer</u>
linear equation: y = -4/3x + 17/2
point-slope form: y - 7 = -4/3(x + 1)
