Answer:
The solution of this system of equations is (3 , -8)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system is
x + 2y = -13
12x + 5y = -4
We make x the subject of the first equation and put it into the second:

We put this expression for x into the second equation
12(-13-2y)+5y=-4
-156-24y+5y=-4
-24y+5y=-4+156
-19y=152
y=-8
We substitute y=-8 into x=-13-2y to get:

The solution of this system of equations is (3 , -8)
Point-slope form is written as : y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is the point.
The slope (m) is found by the change in Y over the change in X
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
You can use either given point for x1 and y1 so you would calculate the slope and replace m with the slope, then replace x1 and y1 in the equation with their value.
