Mathematics

4 0

Answer:

x = 2,  y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

i) It is given that 5x - 3y =1

ii) It is also given that x = 2y - 4

iii) we can substitute the value of x from ii) in the equation in i) and we will get 5(2y - 4) - 3y = 1   ⇒ 10y - 20 -3y =  1   ⇒  7y = 21  ∴ y = 3

iv) substituting the value of y obtained in ii) we get x = (2 × 3) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2.

v) Therefore x = 2.

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

y = -(5/2)x -2

Explanation:

The general formula for a straight line is y – mx + b.

The image below shows the graph of the line.

Step 1. <em>Calculate the slope</em>.

Slope = m = Δy/Δx = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

x₁ = 0; y₁ = -2

x₂ = -2; y₂ = 3     Calculate m

m = [3-(-2)]/(-2-0)

m = (3+2)/(-2)

m = 5/(-2)

m = -5/2

Step 2. <em>Calculate the y-intercept </em>

When x = 0, y = 2.

The y-intercept (b) is at y = -2

Step 3. <em>Write the equation </em>for the graph

y = mx + b

y = -(5/2)x - 2
