Answer:
y = 1
d = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
8y - 2d = 0 ---------------(I)
5y + 4d = 26 1/4
5y + 4d = 105/4 ------------------(II)
(I)*2 16y - 4d = 0
(II) <u>5y + 4d = 105/4</u> {add (I) &(II)}
21y = 105/4
Substitute y =1 in equation (I)
8*1 - 2d = 0
8 - 2d = 0
-2d = -8
d = -8/-2
d = 4
So we will be using form, in which m = slope and b = y-intercept. Since we know the slope (-8), all we need to do is solve for the y-intercept. We can do this by inserting (-2,2) into the equation and solve for b.
Firstly, do the multiplication:
Next, subtract 16 on both sides, and your answer will be -14 = b
Using the previous info we have, our equation is y = -8x - 14
