Answer:
y = ⅔x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The line that is parallel to 2x - 3y = 24, would have the same slope as the line, 2x - 3y = 24.
Rewrite;
2x - 3y = 24
-3y = -2x + 24
Divide both sides by -3
y = ⅔x - 8
Thus, the slope of 2x - 3y = 24 is ⅔.
Therefore the line that is parallel to 2x - 3y = 24, will have a slope (m) of ⅔.
Using point-slope form, we can generate an equation that passes through (-3, -7) and is parallel to 2x - 3y = 24.
Thus, substitute (a, b) = (-3, -7) and m = ⅔ into y - b = m(x - a)
Therefore:
y - (-7) = ⅔(x - (-3))
y + 7 = ⅔(x + 3)
Rewrite in slope-intercept form.
Multiply both sides by 3
3(y + 7) = 2(x + 3)
3y + 21 = 2x + 6
3y = 2x + 6 - 21
3y = 2x - 15
Divide both sides by 3
y = ⅔x - 5
X = 13
( x + 4) / 51 = (2x - 7) / 57
585 = 45x
585/45 = 45x/45
x = 13
Answer:
The pair (0,3) is not a solution to the equation
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be proved by simply replacing the x and y variables in the equation by the x and y values of the pair, and checking if the equation renders a true statement:
By replacing x and y with their values in the pair (0,3), that is x=0 and y=3, in the equation y = 5 - 2x we get:
3 = 5 - 2 (0)
3 = 5 - 0
3 = 5
which is NOT a true statement.
On the other hand, the other two pairs (2,1) and (1,3) render true statements:
1 = 5 - 2 (2)
1 = 5 - 4
1 = 1
and
3 = 5 - 2 (1)
3 = 5 - 2
3 = 3
