Eliminate y's
multiply 2nd eqution by -1 and add to 2nd

-7x-5y=5
<u>9x+5y=-15 +</u>
2x+0y=-10

2x=-10
divide 2
x=-5
sub back

-9x-5y=15
-9(-5)-5y=15
45-5y=15
minus 45 bot sides
-5y=-30
divide both sides by -5
y=6

x=-5
y=6

 -7x-5y=5
-(-9x-5y)=15   It's minus because negative times negative = positive
2x=-10
x= -5

-7(-5) - 5y = 5
35-5y =5
-5y = -30
y=6

Parallel to y=−3/4x, through (4, -1)
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

y=-\frac{3}{4}x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form is given by y=mx+c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Slope of given line= -\frac{3}{4}

Parallel lines have the same slope. Thus, the slope of the line would also be -\frac{3}{4}.

y=-\frac{3}{4}x +c

The value of c can be found by substituting a pair of coordinates.

When x= 4, y= -1,

-1=-\frac{3}{4} (4)+c

-1= -3 +c

<em>Add 3 to both sides:</em>

c= -1 +3

c= 2

Thus, the equation of the line is \bf{y=-\frac{3}{4}x+2.
