The (small) challenge here is to determine what the LCD is. Since 11, 17 and 3 are all prime, we find the LCD by multiplying them together: 561.
Then 9/11= 459/561; 15/17 = 495/561; and 2/3 = 375/561.
first get all variables on the same side, then use elimination to solve.
x = -3
y = -11
Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Slope = (212 - 32)/(100 - 0)
Slope = 180 / 100
Slope = 18/10
Slope = 9/5
Answer
D. slope = 9/5
If you need to substitute the equation x = y - 1.
If you have another equation, then you would plug in y - 1 into the x value of the equation you would need to substitute into.
Hope this helps
