Proportional and linear functions are almost identical in form. The only difference is the addition of the “b” constant to the linear function. Indeed, a proportional relationship is just a linear relationship where b = 0, or to put it another way, where the line passes through the origin (0,0).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the second equation for a to later on replace it in the first equation.

Now plug this into the first equation.

Distribute the 9

Break down the fraction.

Simplify.

Subtract 

Combine like terms.



Muliply by the reciprocal or inverted fraction next to b.


Now plug this value into any of the equations to find the value of a.

Answer:
angle y
58 + 38 + y = 180 (angle sum property)
96 + y = 180
y = 180 - 96
y = 84
angle x
x = 29 (58/2)
(angle subtended by an arc at centre is double the arc at any point on remaining part of centre)
the values of x = 29 and y = 84
1,35 3,57
slope = (57 - 35)/(3 - 1) = 11
y = 11 x + b
35 = 11 (1) + b
b= 24
y = 11x + 24
y = 11(5) + 24 = 79
