Solve either equation for either variable. Since the second one has y on its own, the easiest choice is to solve that for y.
-5x + y = 13 ⇒ y = 5x + 13
Now substitute this into the other equation to eliminate y and rewrite it entirely in terms of x :
-3x + 3y = 3 ⇒ -3x + 3 (5x + 13) = 3
Simplify and solve for x :
-3x + 15x + 39 = 3
12x = -36
x = -3
Substitute this into either original equation to solve for y. Plugging x = -3 into the first equation would give
-3 (-3) + 3y = 3
9 + 3y = 3
3y = -6
y = -2
So the solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-3, -2).
Answer:
The slope is 5/-2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is y1-y2 over m1-m2 (rise over run). The first ordered pair is -2 (m1) and 11 (y1). We then subtract the second ordered pair (4 (m2) and -4 (y2)) from the first.
11 - (-4) = 11 + 4 = 15
-2 - 4 = -6
Remember, slope is rise over run (y over x), so the slope is 15/-6. Now, we must simplify. 15/-6 = 5/-2
Dean went wrong because he thought that slope was run over rise (x over y). If he had switched the two numbers, his answer would have been correct.
I believe it is the first one
The associative property makes it so whichever which way the numbers are the answer will be the same but as shown in the picture this isn't true for this statement because the answers become completely different depending on where the numbers are in the equation.
6 divided by 3 is NOT equal to 3 divided by 6 which disproves that property.
What is being solved for is r.
