Answer:
x-intercept : (-0.1429,0)
y-intercept : (0,0.25
Formula: y = mx + b
m being the slope
Slope given: -2, plug it in
Y = -2x + b
Now find y intercept (b)
Plug in the point (5,-11)
-11 = -2(5) + b
-11 = -10 + b, b = -1
Solution: y = -2x -1
Answer: w = 7, x = 6
Step-by-step explanation: Solve by substitution
W + b = 13
rewrite as b = 13 - w and substitute that value for b in the second equation
6.5w + 2b = 57.5 Then solve for w
6.5w + 2(13-w) = 57.5 . Distribute
6.5w + 26 - 2w = 57.5 . Subtract 26 from both sides. Combine like terms and simplify
6.5w - 2w = 57.5 - 26
4.5w = 31.5 Divide both sides by 4.65
w = 7 . Substitute 7 for w in the first equation and solve for b
7 + b = 13 . Subtract 7 from both sides
b = 6
