Answer:

x = -1 and y = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u = 1/x, and v = 1/y

Then the pair of equations

-3/x + 4/y = 11

1/x - 2/y = -5

Can be written as

-3u + 4v = 11 .................................(1)

u - 2v = -5......................................(2)

From (2)

u = 2v - 5 .......................................(3)

Substituting (3) into (1)

-3(2v - 5) + 4v = 11

-6v + 15 + 4v = 11

-6v + 4v = 11 - 15

-2v = -4

v = 4/2 = 2

Substituting this value of v in (3)

u = 2v - 5

u = 2(2) - 5

= 4 - 5

= -1

That is

u = -1, v = 2

Since u = 1/x, and v = 1/y, we have

1/x = -1

=> x = -1

And

1/y = 2

=> y = 1/2

Therefore

x = -1 and y = 1/2

Answer: #3 is y=-3/2x+1 (or 1 1/2x)

#2: -3/2

#1: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, make a right triangle with the line The 3 is the how many up, the 2 is the how many across. It is negative because it allows down to the right.

To find the intercept, look at where the line cross the vertical line. Which in this case, is 1
