Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can directly substitute y of the first equation to the second equation.
-2x - 1 = 3x - 16
5x = 15
x = 3
Substituting back to any of the two equations, we get y = -2(3)-1 = -7. If you check with the second equation, y = 3(3)-16 = -7 as well.
Therefore .
Answer:
y = 8x+8
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve for the function by finding the slope of the linear function using two points. Let's use (0,8) and (1,16)
Slope formula is:
Plug in the 2 points:
Simplify: m = 8
So now, for the equation y = mx+b, we have m which is y = 8x+b
Now we need to find b by using another point from this linear function.
We can use the point (2,24).
Plug this point into the equation y = 8x+b
- 24 = 8(2)+b
- 24 = 16 + b
- b = 8
We have now found the equation of the linear function: y = 8x+8
