Answer:
(- 1, 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x + 5y = 8 → (1)
- x + 3y = 7 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the term in x, thus
- 2x + 6y = 14 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate the x- term
11y = 22 ( divide both sides by 11 )
y = 2
Substitute y = 2 in either of the 2 equations and evaluate for x
Substituting in (1)
2x + 5(2) = 8
2x + 10 = 8 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
2x = - 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = - 1
Solution is (- 1, 2 )
14.2 - 2.2 - 1
12 -1
11

Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
35 in total, sliced into 7 equal parts (1 per week).
so, each weekly part is therefore 35/7 = 5.
The slope formula is
y2 - y1
_____
x2 - x2
just plug the coordinates into the formula
8 - 4
____
3 - 6
Slope of the line would be -4/3
