Question

Please help I’m failing math.

Answer 1

Answer:

The point (5, -4) is a solution to the system because it satisfies both equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

4y = -3x - 1:

• $4(-4) = -3(5)-1$
• $-16=-15-1$
• $-16=-16$

2y = x - 13

• $2(-4)=5-13$
• $-8=-8$

Answer 2

Answer:

Look below

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by plugging (5, -4) into both equation:

$4y=-3x-1\\4(-4)=-3(5)-1\\-16=-15-1\\-16=-16\rightarrow correct!$

$2y=x-13\\2(-4)=5-13\\-8=-8\rightarrow correct!$

It is a solution because it satisfies both equations.

OR

It is a solution because it is the point of intersection of the two lines.
