Slope, found using the points is -55/11 = -5
We use that for the equation y=mx+b where m=-5. Since we also know one of the points, we can plug that in and find b
-12=-5(4)+b
-12=-20+b
8=b
So the equation of the line is y=-5x+8
What does "the following" mean ?
Where are the choices ?
To solve for y you need to first multiply both sides by 4. This will give you: 4y - 4A / 3 = A + 3B
Next you need to multiply both sides by 3: 4y - 4A = 3A + 9B
Now you need to add 4A to both sides: 4y = 7A + 9B
Now divide both sides by 4:
Y = 7A/4 + 9B/4
The complete question is
Susan and Steven are cousins. The sum of their ages is 33. The difference between three times Steven's age and half of Susan's age is 36. Find <span>the age of Susan and Steven
let
x-----> </span>Susan's age
y----> Steven's age
we know that
y+x=33-----> equation 1
3y-x/2=36----> multiply by 2----> 6y-x=72----> equation 2
adds equation 1 and equation 2
y+x=33
6y-x=72
-------------+
7y=105--------> y=15
x=33-y----> x=33-15----> x=18
the answer is
Susan's age is 18
Steven's age is 15
