Answer:
D. (-3, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations have different coefficients for x and y, so will have one solution. The solutions offered are easily tested in either equation.
Using (x, y) = (-2, -3):
x = y -1 ⇒ -2 = -3 -1 . . . . False
Using (x, y) = (-3, -2):
x = y -1 ⇒ -3 = -2 -1 . . . .True
2x = 3y ⇒ 2(-3) = 3(-2) . . . . True
The solution is (-3, -2).

If you'd like to solve the set of equations, substitution for x works nicely.
2(y -1) = 3y
2y -2 = 3y . . eliminate parentheses
-2 = y . . . . . . subtract 2y
x = -2 -1 = -3
The solution is (x, y) = (-3, -2).

Answer: No, this function is not linear</h3>
This function is a hyperbola. It graphs out two disjoint curves. A linear function produces a single straight line graph. All linear functions can be written in the form y = mx+b. The x being in the denominator is one indicator we cannot write the original equation in the form y = mx+b.
y = 3/x is the same as xy = 3; this tells us every point on y = 3/x has its (x,y) coordinate pair multiply to 3.
Answer:
0.30
Step-by-step explanation:
Each number was getting divided by 3 each time
First, subtract 2x from both sides of the equation to get 8y = -2x - 32. Then, divide the equation by 8, to get y = -x/4 - 4. Your y-intercept will be -4, and it's slope will be -1/4.
