We have
Substitute:
Only 4 and 10 meet the requirements of the question.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
40 and 1 NOT, because 40 > 12
20 and 2 NOT, because 20 > 12
5 and 8 NOT because GCF(5, 8) = 1
y=−3x+9 slope of this equation is -3 and y-intercept is 9
Plot the y -intercept first which is 9 and mark the points using the slope which is -3. Join the points. So blue line in the graph is y = -3x+9
y=−x−5 slope of this equation is -1 and y intercept is -5
Plot the y -intercept first which is -5 and mark the points using the slope which is -1 . Join the points. So pink line in the graph is y = -x-5
The intersection point of these two lines gives you the solution.
The coordinates of point of intersection (7,-12)
