HELP ME PLEASE! So I’m working on this practice page before I start my quiz but I don’t understand these two problems, I was hoping someone would help me.

3 . y = -1/3 + 4/3   4. y= 1/2x -6

Step-by-step explanation:

3.   In the first graph  they have the coordinates,  (-2,2)  and (4,0). We have to solve for the slope and the y-intercept in other to write and equation.

To find the slope we have to find the change in the y values  and divide it by the difference in the x values.

2-0 = 2

-2 -4 = -6

2/-6 =  -1/3  Now we know that the slope is -1/3  so we need to  find the y-intercept.

2= -1/3(-2) +b   where be is the y intercept.

2= 2/3 + b

-2/3  -2/3

b= 4/3  

Now we could write the equation as  y= -1/3 + 4/3  

4. The same with number 4.  

We will find the slope and the y intercept by using some points on the number line.

(0,-6)  This already have the y-intercept graphed so we will need to just find the slope.

(0,-6)

(4,-4)  

-6 - (-4) = -2

0 - 4 =  -4

-2/-4 = 1/2

Equation: y = 1/2x  -6

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1
