Answer:

Slope = -3/4

y-intercept = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y = 8\\\therefore 4y = -3x +8\\\therefore y = \frac{-3}{4}x+ \frac{8}{4}\\\therefore y = \frac{-3}{4}x+2\\Equating \: it \: with\: \\y=mx+b\\Slope\:(m) = \frac{-3}{4}\\y-intercept\:(b) = 2

I assume you are being asked to solve these equations.  Since there wasn't an explanation as to how you are expected to solve them, I chose to demonstrate how to use a calculator matrix function. You can find matrix calculators online.  My instructions are for a TI-84
Push the blue 2nd button then push x^-1 button (it says matrix above this button in blue)
Arrow over to edit to change the dimensions of the matrix and to put in your values.  You have 3 equations (3 rows) and 4 terms (4 columns) so you put a 3x4 in for the dimension and the coefficients (see images).
You use the rref option in the math column in matrix to calculate the answer. 
The numbers at the end are the solutions. x = -4, y = 2, z = -1

Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair. 5x - 2y = 9 3x + 4y = - 5 O A. (5,
marta [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4(5x-2y=9)

-2(3x+4y=-5)

20-20x-8y=36

+6x-6x-8y=10

36-20x=10+6x-6x

36-36-20x-6x=10

-26x=10-36

-26x/-26=-26/-26

x=1

Geometric mean of 5 and 8 in simplest radical form
Montano1993 [528]
First, multiply 5 and 8. That equals 40. Then you take the square root of 40, which doesn't result in a whole number, so you factor 40 and removing perfect squares. In which case the answer would be 2√10
