Answer:

(x, y ) = (- 2, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

7x - 2y = - 20 → (1)

9x + 4y = - 6 → (2)

multiply (1) by 2 making the coefficients of y equal and opposite

14x - 4y = - 40 → (3)

add (2) and (3) term by term

(9x + 14x ) + (4y - 4y ) = (- 6 - 40 )

23x = - 46 ( divide both sides by 23 )

x = - 2

substitute x = - 2 into either (1) or (2) for y

(2) - 18 + 4y = - 6 ( add 18 to both sides )

4y = 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 3

solution is (- 2, 3 )

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

A  Exactly 1 solution

Step-by-step explanation:

if we express both equations as y = mx+b

we will see that both equations have different slopes (i.e "m" values are different).

By definition, 2 straight lines of different slopes will intersect at only one location (i.e there is only one solution)

which of the following is the equation of the line that passes though the point (-2,1) and has a slope of 4
Ierofanga [76]

An equation that goes through (-2, 1) and has a slope of 4 is y = 4x + 9.


You can find this by looking for the y-intercept (b) by using the slope (m), the point and slope intercept form. The work is below for you.


y = mx + b

1 = 4(-2) + b

1 = -8 + b

9 = b


Now we can use that and the slope to create the equation y = 4x + 9
