Step-by-step explanation:
-

5x-8y=1...(1)
3x+6y=-21...(2)
(1)*3:
15x-24y=3...(3)
(2)*5:
15x+30y=-105...(2)
(3)-(2):
15x-24y-(15x+30y)=3-(-105)
15x-24y-15x-30y=108
-54y=108
y=-2
<h3>
<u>Explanation</u></h3>
- Convert the equation into slope-intercept form.

where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
What we have to do is to make the y-term as the subject of equation.


From y = mx+b, the slope is 3.
