Triple the dimensions, multiply, and you get D
Answer:
y+4=-3(x+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
You start by calculating the slope which is y1-y2 over x1-x2, which plugging the numbers in, comes out to be -3. Then, taking the point slope formula
(y-y1=m[x-x1]), you just plug the rest of the variables in.
Answer: The ordered pair is (2,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we can use substitution. With substitution, we substitute the y in each problem with the equations. In this case, x + 1 can substitute the y in y = -x + 5. Here is what the problem looks like now:
x + 1 = -x + 5
The reason we used substitution is because we assume that these linear equations are equal. We must prove it, though. We can use algebra.
Move the variables to one side and the numerical values to another:
x + x = 5 - 1.
Simplify.
2x = 4
Simplify.
x = 2.
Now, we got our x value, we can substitute it into our problem:
y = 2 + 1
y + -2 + 5
2 + 1 = - 2 + 5 = 3
Our x is 2, and our y is 3. The ordered pair that is a solution is (2,3).
Positive Numbers are to the right of the number line.
