To solve by substitution, you need to fill in the value for either x or y. Since y = x + 5, you already have the y value. It's x + 5. Now you need to find x before you can go any further. So let's take 5x + y = 3 and fill x + 5 in for y.
5x + y = 5
5x + x + 5 = 3
Now solve for x.
5x + x + 5 = 3
6x + 5 = 3
6x = 3 - 5
6x = -2
x = -2/6 or -0.33
Now solve x + 5 for y.
y = x + 5
y = -0.33 + 5
y = 4.67
So x = -0.33 and y = 4.67
Answer:
A. slope = -2; point = (8, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Compare to the point-slope form for slope m and point (h, k).
y -k = m(x -h)
You see that k = -3, m = -2, h = 8, so ...
- the slope is -2
- the point is (h, k) = (8, -3)
Answer: f(0) = 6.
Explanation:
Ther ordered pairs are: (x,y) or (x, f(x) )
So, (1,0) means that f(1) = 0 which denies the fourth choice.
(-10,2) means that f(-10) = 2 which denies the first choice
(0,6) means that f(0) = 6, which is the third choice. So, that is the true equation.
For eliminating you need to have a variable that cancels the other out and in this case 2x and -2x do. Then you want to take -3y+9y and add the numbers after the equal sign. -9+3
