Answer:

x = 0 , y = 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

6 x - 9 = -9

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

6 x - 9 = -9

Add 9 to both sides:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

6 x = 0

Divide both sides by 6:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

x = 0

Substitute x = 0 into the first equation:

{18 y = 21

x = 0

In the first equation, look to solve for y:

{18 y = 21

x = 0

Divide both sides by 18:

{y = 7/6

x = 0

Answer: {x = 0 , y = 7/6

What is the slope and equation of a horizontal line ?

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a horizontal line is y = b where b is the y-intercept. Since the slope of a horizontal line is 0, the general formula for the standard form equation, y = mx + b becomes y = 0x +b y = b. Also ,since the line is horizontal, every point on that line has the exact same y value. This y-value is therefore also the y-intercept.
