Hey there!

Let's write this as a system of equations.

m+b=22

b= 4m-3

Let's plug our value for b into the first equation and solve for m.

m+4m-3=22

We combine like terms.

5m-3=22

We add 3 to both sides.

5m=25

We divide both sides by 5.

m=5

Therefore, Maggie is 5 years old.

I hope this helps!

The slope of a line that passes through points (5, 14) and (-4, y) is 4/9. What is the value of y?​
Monica [59]

Answer:

slope=m=4/9

(x',y')=(5,14)

(x",y")=(-4,y)

we have

m=(y"-y')/(x"-x')

4/9=(-4-5)/(y-14)

4y-56=-81

4y=-81+56

y=-25/4
