Answer:
m=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
m=y2-y1/x2-x1
m=16-10/5-7
m=6/-2
m=-3
15; it represents the one-time sign-up fee
The y-intercept can be found either on the graph where the line intercepts the y-axis, or b in the equation y=mx+b.
It represents the fee because it will be charged even if the number of months (x) is zero. 10 is the monthly fee because it is multiplied by x, the number of months.
It's not necessary that either one represents a proportional
relationship. But if either one does, then the other one doesn't.
They can't both represent such a relationship.
The graph of a proportional relationship must go through
the origin. If one of a pair of parallel lines goes through
the origin, then the other one doesn't. (If two parallel lines
both went through the origin, then they would both be the
same line.)
The correct answer would be -23
Eliminate y's
multiply second equaiton by 4
4x+4y=-4
add to first equation
3x-4y=-24
<u>4x+4y=-4 +</u>
7x+0y=-28
7x=-28
divide both sides by 7
x=-4
sub back
x+y=-1
-4+y=-1
add 4 to both sides
y=3
(x,y)
(-4,3)
