Xy = 54
x + y = 7
x + y = 7
3.5 + 6.45i + y = 7
- (3.5 + 6.45i) - (3.5 + 6.45i)
y = 3.5 - 6.45i
(x, y) = (3.5 + 6.45i, (3.5 - 6.45i)
or
x + y = 7
3.5 - 6.45i + y = 7
- (3.5 - 6.45i) - (3.5 - 6.45i)
y = 3.5 + 6.45i
(x, y) = (3.5 - 6.45i, 3.5 + 6.45i)
The two numbers that add up to 7 and can multiply to 54 is 3.5 ± 6.45i.

Let's replace x with -4 and simplify
y = (x/4) + 7
y = (-4/4) + 7
y = -1 + 7
y = 6
This means x = -4 and y = 6 pair up together.
So 6 goes in the box under the -4
----------------------------------------------------------
Repeat those steps for x = 0
y = (x/4) + 7
y = (0/4) + 7
y = 0 + 7
y = 7
So 7 goes in the box under the 0
----------------------------------------------------------
Let's repeat those steps for x = 4
y = (x/4) + 7
y = (4/4) + 7
y = 1 + 7
y = 8
So 8 goes in the box under the 4
----------------------------------------------------------
Lastly, for x = 8, we get
y = (x/4) + 7
y = (8/4) + 7
y = 2 + 7
y = 9
9 goes in the box under the 8
----------------------------------------------------------
The y outputs we got were: 6, 7, 8, 9
Notice how each time y increases by 1, x goes up by 4.
This means slope = rise/run = 1/4
We can think of x/4 as (1/4)x to help see that the slope is 1/4.
