Answer:

x must equal 5 and y must equal 2

therefore,

5a + 2b = 23 and

5a - 2b = 7.

I'm gonna take 5a + 2b = 23 and add 7 to each side:

5a + 2b + 7 = 30

and substitute 5a -2b in for 7 on the left side:

5a + 2b + (5a-2b) = 30

10a = 30

a = 3

Now we know a. Now take

5a -2b = 7

and substitute in 3 for a

5*(3) - 2b = 7

15 -2b = 7

8 = 2b

b = 4

a = 3 and b = 4

Do alternate interior angles add to 180 degrees

Anna007 [38]

Yes, they can add up to 180 degrees. Say one angle is 65 degrees, and the other one is 115 degrees. That would equal to 180 degrees.
Hope this helps.

Answer:

The y-intercept is (0,-26)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points P(a,b) and Q(c,d), the line that passes for both points can be found with the expression

$\displaystyle y-b=\frac{d-b}{c-a}(x-a)$

We'll take the first two points P(34,-52) and Q(51,-65) to find

$y=-\frac{13}{17}(x-34)-52\\ \\y=-\frac{13}{17}x-26$

Let's verify if the third point is on the line:

$y=-\frac{13}{17}68-26=-52-26=-78$

It belongs to the line. To find the y-intercept of the line, we set x to 0

$y=-\frac{13}{17}(0)-26=-26$

The y-intercept is (0,-26)
