Please help me with this problem! I am so confused: This system of equations shows x by itself on the left side of one equation.

Solve the system by substituting for x instead of y.
x = -y - 2
0.5x + y = 1

Answer:

x=-6

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

x=-y-2 x=-y-2 x=-y-2 x=-y-2 x=-y-2 x=-4-2 x=-6

0.5x+y = 1 0.5(-y-2)+y=1 -0.5y-1+y=1 -y-2+2y=2 y=4 y=4 y=4

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (−1,−3) and has a slope of 3?

Tanya [424]

Answer:

y= 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is just read. It is 3. It is the value of m in the general equation.

y = mx + b

y = 3x + b

To find b, use (-1,-3)

x = -1

y = -3 Substitute into the general equation

-3 = 3(-1) + b Simplify the right side

-3 = -3 + b Subtract -3 from both sides

b = 0

Answer: y = 3x
