Answer:

The answer is (-0.7, -9.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Since we are using the substitution method, and we know that y = 2x-1, in the first equation, plug that into y. It should look like this:

4x-2(12x-1) = 14

4x -24x + 2 = 14

2) Combine like terms and continue to simplify until you get a direct answer for each variable.

-20x + 2 = 14.

-20x = 12.

x = -7/10 (or -0.7)

3) Now we know what x equals, so to find our y-coordinate, we will plug this into either equation.

y = 12(-7/10) -1

y= -84/10 -1

y= -9.4

4) Now that we have our x value and y value, we know our point. The solution is (-0.7, -9.4).

Both lines pass through the point (-3,-4). one has a slope of 4 and the other has a slope of -1/4

Alchen [17]

If the question is to find the slope-intercept form of both lines, here's the answer:
Both lines pass through the point (-3,-4), so we can use these coordinates in both equations. The slope-intercept form is represented by y=mx+b, with m the slope, b the intersection of the line with Y'Y for x=0, y and x the coordinates of a point.
Let's first apply all these for the first line, with a slope of 4.
y = mx + b
y=-3; x=-4; m=4. All we need to do is find b.
-3 = 4(-4) + b
-3 = -16 + b
b=13
So the equation of the first line is y= 4x + 13.

Now, we'll do the same thing but for the second line:
y=-3; x=-4; m=-1/4, and we need to find b.
-3 = (-1/4)(-4) + b
-3 = 1 + b
b= -4
So the equation of the second line is y=(-1/4)x - 4
