Answer:
You wrote the question wrong...
m is not -16 it is -1/6 (that is a big difference)
y=mx+b
y=-1/6x+b
3 = -1/6(12) + b
3 = -2 + b
b=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

From the initial condition,

So we have that 
The answer is b because there is a negative in the exponent and the number needs to be a single digit and 54 is double digit. hope this helps!
Answer: x= -6; y= -1
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x + y = 23
4x - 9y = - 15
-4x + y = 23
y = 23 + 4x [Add 4x to both side]
4x - 9(23 + 4x) = - 15
4x - 207 - 36x = - 15
-32x - 207 = -15
-32x = 192 [Add 207 to both side]
x = -6 [Divide -32 from both side]
-4x + y = 23
-4(-6) + y = 23 [Plug in -6 for x]
24 + y = 23 [Subtract 24 from both side]
y = -1
