Solve for x and y 2x+7=3y-1

1 answer:

7 0

To solve for x and y, isolate each variable and simplify your equation:

Solve for x:
2x+7=3y-1 (Subtract 7 on each side)
2x=3y-8 (Divide by 2 on each side)
x= $\frac{3y}{2} -4$

Solve for y:
2x+7=3y-1
2x+8=3y (Add 1 on each side)
$\frac{2x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$ =y (Divide by 3)
y= $\frac{2x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

The growth is decaying, the original value is 500 and the common multiplier is 5, 500 divided by 5 turns to 100. 100/5=20. 20/5=4. x/5 or 1/5 if it has to be in a fraction format

Find the slope of a line parallel to a line that contains the points (8, -3) and (2, 5).

Illusion [34]

Answer:

$-\frac{4}{3}$ (Your answer choices were really confusing, so I just put the plain answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line with just two points, we can use the formula $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ . In this case, $\frac{5-(-3)}{2-8}$ . This is $\frac{8}{-6}$ . This reduces to $-\frac{4}{3}$

What is the equation of the line passing through the points (2, -1) and (5.-10) in slope-intercept form

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

y = -3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually by drawing a simple graph, you can tell what the equation is, even if the graph isn't 100% accurate. From the points alone, you can tell that the slope is negative, since as you increase in x you decrease in y (which is a negative relationship). You can tell that it's +5 rather than -5 because the graph sketched shows that the line goes above 0 (indicating a positive number), rather than below (a negative number).
