Arturiano [62]4 years ago

Answer:

x=-9,y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3y=-6...(1)

-2x-2y=26...(2)

To solve we will have to eliminate one of the given variables, the variable to be eliminated is x

And it can be done by adding up (1) and (2)

It gives

-5y=20

Divide both sides by-5

y=-4

Then substitute the value of y into (1)

2x-3(-4)=-6

2x+12=-6

Substrate 12 from both sides

2x=-18

Divide both sides by 2

x=-9

Therefore x gives -9 and y gives-4

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 3) and (5, –2)?
Sergeu [11.5K]

m=-(5/4)

From left to right, (1,3) is first and then comes (5,-2). Always remember when finding slopes without equations, the rule is RISE over RUN, to the numerator and denominator, respectively.

The y value of the second coordinates becomes negative which is unlike the y value in the first coordinates, which means our slope is downward, meaning it has a negative sign in front.

In every slope, there’s a numerator, being the rise, and a denominator, being the run.

To find the rise, we must look at the y values. Starting at 3 going to -2 has a space of 5 units, making that our numerator.

To find the run, the first x value is 1 and the second is 5, making a space of 4, which is out denominator.

With these two numbers and the negative sign, we get -(5/4) as our slope.
