Answer:

  x -3y -7 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of the equation for a line is ...

  ax +by +c = 0

where a, b, c are mutually prime and the leading coefficient is greater than zero.

__

The general form equation for a line with slope m = rise/run through point (h, k) can be found by simplifying ...

  rise(x -h) -run(y -k) = 0 . . . . where run has the sign of the slope

For the given point and slope, we have ...

  1(x -1) -3(y -(-2)) = 0

  x -3y -7 = 0

Answer:

Solution: x = 2, y = -1 or (2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1:  2x + y = 3

Equation 2: 5x - 2y = 12

Using the substitution method:

Transform the Equation 1 into its slope-intercept form:

2x + y = 3

2x - 2x + y = -2x + 3

y = 2x + 3

Substitute the value of y = -2x + 3 into Equation 2:

5x - 2y = 12

5x - 2(-2x + 3) = 12

5x + 4x - 6 = 12

9x - 6 = 12

9x - 6 + 6 = 12 + 6

9x = 18

9x/9 = 18/9

x = 2

Substitute the value of x = 2 into Equation 2 to solve for y:

5x - 2y = 12

5(2) - 2y = 12

10 - 2y = 12

10 - 10 - 2y = 12 - 10

-2y = 2

-2y/-2 = 2/-2

y = -1

Double-check whether the values for x and y will provide a true statement for both equations:

Equation 1:  2x + y = 3

2(2) + (-1) = 3

4 - 1 = 3

3 = 3 (True statement)

Equation 2: 5x - 2y = 12

5(2) - 2(-1) = 12

10 + 2 = 12

12 = 12 (True statement)

Therefore, the correct answers are: x = 2; y = -1 or (2, -1).
