3x - 1 = 9x + 2
3x (-3x) - 1 (-2) = 9x (-3x) + 2 (-2)
-3 = 6x
-3/6 = 6x/6
-1/2 = x
hope thsi helps
Are these 2 different questions
Complete the square for x and y.
7x^2 + 3y^2 - 28x - 12y = -19
7x^2 - 28x + 3y^2 - 12y = -19
7(x^2 - 4x) + 3(y^2 - 4y) = -19
7(x^2 - 4x + 4) + 3(y^2 - 4y + 4) = -19 + 28 + 12
7(x - 2)^2 + 3(y - 2)^2 = 21
(5,2)(-3,5)
slope = (5 - 2) / (-3 - 5) = -3/8
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3/8
use either of ur points...(5,2)...x = 5 and y = 2
now we sub and find b, the y int
2 = -3/8(5) + b
2 = - 15/8 + b
2 + 15/8 = b
16/8 + 15/8 = b
31/8 = b
so ur equation is : y = -3/8x + 31/8....or 3x + 8y = 31
