Answer:
The answer to your question is (-1, 4) The lines cross in one point so they have only one solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Equation 1 x - 4y = -17
Equation 2 y = 4x + 8
Solve for y
Equation 1 y = -x/-4 - 17/-4
y = x/4 + 17/4
Equation 2 y = 4x + 8
See the graph below
These lines cross in point (-1, 4), so that is the only one solution.
If the lines were the same line they would have infinite solutions
To find the slope from an equation, solve the equation for y.
The equation will have the form y = mx + b, called the slope-intercept form.
Then m = slope.
Let's solve your equation for y.
Subtract 2x from both sides.
Divide both sides by 7.
Now compare the equation above to y = mx + b.
m is the number that multiplies x, and it is the slope.
