Solve for y by setting one equation =to X after that you can substitute the equation into the other one let's set the first one in X= FORM
X-7y=10
-2x+14y=-20
Add 7y to both sides of the first equation to let x stand alone
X=7y+10
Now you can substitute x on the second equation
-2 (7y+10)+14y=-20
Distribute
-14y-20+14y=-20
Add and simplify
Us cancel out =0
-20=-20
0=0
They are the same equations you can also divide the second equation by -2 which would make it look like this
X-7y=10
-2 (x-7y=10)
Let me know if I have answered your question
The point slope form of a line is written as y - y1 = m(x -x1)
Where m is the slope and x1 and y1 are the points on the line.
You are told the slope is 3 and the point is (2,-1/2)
x1 is 2 and y1 is -1/2
Replace those in the equation to get:
y- (-1/2) = 3(x-2)
Simplify to get the final answer:
y + 1/2 = 3(x-2)
