Answer: - 19/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope , all we need to do is to write the equation in the form y = mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept.

That means we need to make y the subject of the formula in the equation.

4y = 152 - 19x

Divide through by 4

y = 152/4 - 19x/4

y = 38 - 19x/4

Therefore the slope is -19/4

Answer:

-4.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y by dividing by 4:

$y = 38 - 4.75x$

Differentiate with respect to x (use power rule):

$\frac{dy}{dx} = - 4.75$

Answer:

The solution for this system is: $x = -1, y = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem states that we have to solve this system by the elimination method

In the elimination method, we transform the system in such a way that one variable can cancel each other. With this, we find the result of the other variable. Then, we can replace the variable we found in any of the equations, and we have the value of the variable that we had initially canceled.

In this problem, we have the following system:

$1) -6x + 5y = 1$
