To complete this equation, it is vital to know the slope. To find the slope using points, you subtract the first x from the second, and the first y from the second. This gives you a slope of 4. Then, you must follow point-slope form and choose one of the order pairs to use. You then write y then the negative of your number. Since the number is already negative, you turn it into a positive. On the other side of the "=" sign, you write your slope, 4 distributing to x. Then you write the negative of your x value. Since it is already negative, it turns into a positive. This gives you a final answer of y+1=4(x+2). I realize that this doesn't line up with your fill-in-the-blank answer, so I am sorry if it doesn't work.
For the first line we have a slope of (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(2--2)/(1--1)=4/2=2 so we have:
y=2x+b, now solve for b with either of the points, I'll use: (1,2)
2=2(1)+b
b=0 so the first line is:
y=2x
Now the second line:
(1-10)/(4--2)=-9/6=-3/2 so far then we have:
y=-3x/2+b, using point (4,1) we solve for b...
1=-3(4)/2+b
1=-6+b
b=7 so
y=-3x/2+7 or more neatly...
y=(-3x+14)/2
...
The solution occurs when both the x and y coordinates for each are equal, so we can say y=y, and use our two line equations...
2x=(-3x+14)/2
4x=-3x+14
7x=14
x=2, and using y=2x we see that:
y=2(2)=4, so the solution occurs at the point:
(2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:
1/10 = .1, and 3/33 = .0909090... it is equivalent if you estimate.
