Answer:

The numbers are 39 and 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1, sum of the numbers:

x + y = 53

Equation 2, difference of the numbers:

x - y = 25

System of equations:

x + y = 53

x - y = 25

----------------

2x = 78

x = 39

Solve for y:

39 + y = 53

y = 14

The numbers are 39 and 14.

The slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept → (0, b)

We have the points (-4, -6) and (2, 6). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{6-(-6)}{2-(-4)}=\dfrac{12}{6}=2\\\\y=2x+b$

Put the coordinates of the point (2, 6) to the equation of a line:

$6=2(2)+b\\\\6=4+b\qquad|-4\\\\2=b\to b=2$

<h3>Answer: y = 2x + 2</h3>
