Answer:
C) (-3, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 5/3x + 4
When x = 0, y = 4
When y = 0, x = -2.4
graph the points: (0, 4) and (-2.4, 0)
y = -2/3x - 3
When x = 0, y = -3
When y = 0, x = -4.5
graph the points: (0, -3) and (-4.5, 0)
The lines will cross at point: (-3, -1)
Hi there!
We are given two ordered pairs which are:
If you are curious how do I get these ordered pairs, they come from those two big circles or dots. x and y make relation and can be written as (x,y).
1. Find the slope
- Yes, our first step is to find the slope of a graph if you want to find an equation. You may be curious how to find that right? No worries! We have got a special formula for you to find the slope!
Since we have two given points, we can substitute them in the formula.
2. Form an equation.
- Since we have finally found, got or evaluated the slope. Next step is to find the y-intercept. Oh! Before we get to form an equation, do you know the slope-intercept form? We will be using that linear equation form since it is commonly used in the topic.
Where <u>m</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>s</u><u>l</u><u>o</u><u>p</u><u>e</u> and <u>b</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>y</u><u>-</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>c</u><u>e</u><u>p</u><u>t</u><u>.</u> We substitute m = 4/5.
Next thing to remember is that when the graph intersects an origin point, b-term or y-intercept would be 0. Therefore b = 0 since the graph intersects (0,0).
3. Answer
- Therefore the equation of the line is y = 4x/5.
Answer:
23x = -115
Step-by-step explanation:
In the substitution method, you must solve for 1 variable in 1 equation to replace it in the other equation. For the system:
2x - 7y = 4
3x + y = -17
Solving for y in the second equation:
y = -17 - 3x
Replacing y in the first equation:
2x - 7(-17 - 3x) = 4
2x + 119 + 21x = 4
23x = -115
This is the new equation after use the substitution method.
You can substitute what y is into the second equation, so:
3x + 4(2x + 1) = 26
3x + 8x + 4 = 26
11x + 4 = 26
- 4
11x = 22
÷ 11
x = 2
y = (2 × 2) + 1
y = 5 + 1
y = 5
So you get x as 2 and y as 5, I hope this helps!
