When x=-5, y=(1/5)*(-5)-1=-2, so the first order pair is (-5,-2)
when y=-1, -1=(1/5)x-1, (1/5)x=0, x=0, so the second ordered pair is (0, -1)
Answer:
-12/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to get slope is m=y1-y2 and x1-x2
REMEMBER SLOPE IS Y/X NOT X/Y
Answer: You can multiply the top equation by -1 to eliminate the x variable.
And the solution is (2,4/3) in case you need it.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 8
2x + 6y = 12
If you multiply the upper equation or down equation by one, you will be able to eliminate the x variable.
-1( 2x + 3y) = -1(8) New equation: -2x -3y = -8.
Add the new equation you got by multiplying the top equation by -1 to the bottom equation.
Add them: -2x -3y = -8
2x + 6y = 12
3y = 4
y = 4/3
You can now input the value for y into the one of the equations and solve for x.
-2x - 3(4/3) = -8
-2x -4 = -8
+4 +4
-2x = -4
x = 2
