Answer:
3 and - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the gradients using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
Line A
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 1) ← 2 points on the line
m = 
= 3
Line B
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 5) ← 2 points on the line
m = 
= 
= - 4
-0.05 is larger. Since they're negative, you're going by which is closer to 0 rather than farther. -0.05 is closer to 0 on a number line, so it's larger than -0.25.
I'm not quite sure if this is what you need, but I am going to solve these equations by elimination. x= 8/17 and y = 11/17 (8/17, 11/17).
