Answer:

y= -2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is usually written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Given that the slope is -2, m= -2.

subst. m= -2 into the equation:

y= -2x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a coordinate.

When x= -4, y=8,

8= -2(-4) +c

8= 8 +c (expand)

c= 8-8 (-8 on both sides)

c=0 (simplify)

Thus, the equation of the line is y= -2x.

I need some help with these please :')
Nataly [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

problem 1.

1. 6y = 30

2. y = 5

3. 3x + 2(5) = 16

4. 3x+10=16

5. 3x=6

6. x=2

solution: (2,5)

problem 2.

1. x=7

2. 4(2)-2y=18

3. 28-2y=18

4. -2y= -10

5. y=5

solution (7,5)

problem 3

10x=10

x=1

7(1) +y =-2

y=-9

(1,9)

problem 4

0= -6

no solution

problem 5

0=0

Two numbers have a sum of 24 and 7 times the first number minus the second number is equal to 16. what is the smaller number
Varvara68 [4.7K]
You want the minimum of the solutions to
  x + y = 24
  7x - y = 16

There are many ways to solve these equations. Adding them together, you get
  8x = 40
  x = 5

Since this value is less than 12, it is the smaller number. The smaller number is 5.
