8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y- intercept occurs at x= 0. Thus, the y-intercept of a line can be found by substituting x= 0 into it's equation.

x -y= -1

When x= 0,

0 -y= -1

-y= -1

Divide both sides by -1:

y= -1 ÷(-1)

y= 1

Thus, the y-intercept is 1.

Solve the system of equations. 10x+y=−20 y=2x2−4x−16 ( , ) and ( , )

Sladkaya [172]

I will go about solving this using the elimination method.

First, convert the equations.

10x + y = -20
4x + y = -12

Second, find the easiest variable to get rid of and get rid of it! (In this case, y) We will subtract to get rid of y.

6x = -8

Third, you want to solve the equation.

6x = -8 (divide by 6)
x = $-1 \frac{1}{3}$

Fourth, solve for y by inserting the answer for x into one of the equations.

10( $-1 \frac{1}{3}$ ) + y = -20
$-13 \frac{1}{3}$ + y = -20 (subtract $-13 \frac{1}{3}$ )
y = $-6 \frac{2}{3}$

The solution for this system of equations is ( $-1 \frac{1}{3}$ , $-6 \frac{2}{3}$ ).
