Answer:

Equation of line GH is y=x+3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of any line can be represented in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

The given line is passing through the points ( 2,5) and (6,9).

Slope =m = (9-5)÷(6-2) =1.

The given line passes through the point (2,5) and m=1.

Substituting the values of m,x,y in y=mx+b we have:

5=1(2)+b

Or, 5=2+b ,

Or b=3 .

Line GH has slope m=1 and y intercept b=3 .

Hence equation of line GH is y=x+3.

It’s linear so you map out the first differences and then put it into y=Mx+b form. For the you gotta find the y intercept

Let's find the slope (m) :

$\dfrac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

$\dfrac{16 - 11}{9 - 6}$

$\dfrac{5}{3}$

slope of given line is 5/3

now, let's plug the value of coordinates of a point lying on the line ( for example : (6 , 11) and slope (m) to find the y - intercept (c) :

$y = mx + c$

$11 = \bigg(\dfrac{5}{ 3} \times 6 \bigg) + c$

$11 = (5 \times 2) + c$

$11 = 10 + c$

$c = 11 - 10$

$c = 1$

value of y - intercept (c) = 1, so our equation will be :

$y = mx + c$

$y = \dfrac{5}{3}x + 1$

What is the y value in the solution to this system of linear equations?

Travka [436]

Answer:

The y-value is -20

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's solve this by Elimination method;

-2(4x + 5y = -12)

4(2x + 3y = -16)

Let's Distribute;

-8x - 10y = 24

8x + 12y = -64

So x cancels out because -8 + 8 = 0

-10y + 12y = 2y

24 - 64 = -40

2y = -40

Divide both sides by 2;

y = -20

Now lets plug in y to find the value of x;

4x + 5(-20) = -12

4x - 100 = -12

Add 100 to both sides;

4x = 88

Divide both sides by 4;

x = 22
