The point of elimination is to have one variable so example

3x + 2y = 4

7X + 3y = 5

1) Try to find a way to have one variable

7(3x + 2y = 4) ----> 21x + 14y = 28

-3(7x+ 3y = 5) -----> -21x -9y = -15

2) add

0 + 5y = 13

3) solve for the last variable

5y = 13
y = 13/5 = 2 3/5 = 2.8

4) Subsitute the variable to get the other one

3x + 2(2.8) = 4

3x + 5.6 = 4

3x = -1.6

x = 0.533333333 (continue)

The intersection would be 0.53 with a line above the 3 and 2.8. (0.5333 , 2.8)

Hope you understand!!

you need to fill a water jug with 8.23 L. you filled it with 2.92 L and then added 3.14 more how much more water do you need?

dalvyx [7]

Find out how much you filled.

2.92 + 3.14 = 6.06 L

Find the remaining.

8.23 L - 6.06 L = 2.17 L

You need 2.17 L more to fill the water jug

So, I undestood slope right. But, I get confused with the other points that intersect there is multiple of them. How do i look f

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 2 points on the line that land perfectly on the grid. I'll choose these 2 here:

(-2, -1) and (0, 3)

Rise is the change in the y value from one point to the other, and run is the change in the x. Looking at these 2 points, y went from -1 to 3. That is a <em>rise</em> of 4. The x went from -2 to 0, so that is a <em>run</em> of 2. "rise over run" means rise literally over run in a fraction like this:

$m=\frac{rise}{run}$
