Solve the simultaneous equation 2x - 5y = 9 3x + 4y = 2

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 2, y = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5y = 9

3x + 4y = 2

Multiply first equation by -3 and the second by 2:

-6x + 15y = -27

6x + 8y = 4            Adding the 2 equations:

23y = -23

y = -1.

Now substitute this value for y in the first equation:

2x - 5(-1) = 9

2x = 9 +5(-1)

2x = 9 - 5

2x = 4

x = 2.

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line with the slope of -5/8 that passes through the point (-14,6)
inessss [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1 = m(x-x1) is the equation for a linear line in y=mx+b (slope intercept)

slope = m = -5/8

x1 = -14

y1 = 6

y-6 = -5/8 (x--14)

y-6 = -5/8 (x+14)

y-6 = -5/8x-70/8

y-48/8= -5/8x-70/8

y = -5/8x - 22/8

When x = 0, y = -22/8, which makes (0, -22/8) your y intercept
