An equvilent equation
remember you can do anything to an equation as long asyou do it to both sides
assuming yo have
x+y=1 and
x-3y=9
mulitply both by 2
2x+2y=2
2x-6y=18
those are equvilent
ok, solve initial
x+y=1
x-3y=9
multiply first equation by -1 and add to 2nd equation
-x-y=-1
<u>x-3y=9 +</u>
0x-4y=8
-4y=8
divide both sides by -4
y=-2
sub back
x+y=1
x-2=1
add 2
x=3
x=3
y=-2
(3,-2)
if we test it in other one
2x+2y=2
2(3)+2(-2)=2
6-4=2
2=2
yep
2x-6y=18
2(3)-6(-2)=18
6+12=18
18=18
yep
solution is (3,-2)

Answer:

![\rule[225]{225}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crule%5B225%5D%7B225%7D%7B2%7D)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the slope through two points.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (4 - -5)/(4 - -8)
m = 9/12 = 3/4
The slope of the line is 3/4.
Slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
y = 3/4x + b
A point on the line is (4, 4). x = 4 and y =4.
4 = 3/4(4) + b
4 = 3 + b
b = 1
The y-intercept is 1.
