4x+5y = 20 5y = -4x+20 y = -4/5x+4 So the slope is -4/5 or as -0.8 and the y intercept is 4
It is an equation and the value of x is 4
Without an equality sign it cannot be considered as an equation and the + or - value for 4 has not been given
4x + 5y = 20 5y = -4x + 20 y = (-4/5)x + 20/5 Now that the equation has been rewritten in standard form, the slope is the cofficient of x, -4/5 [or -0.8]
4x-7y = -4 4(x+y = 0) Mutiply all terms in the bottom equation by 4: 4x-7y = -4 4x+4y = 0 Subtract the bottom equation from the top equation: -11y = -4 Divide both sides by -11 remembering that a minus divided into a minus becomes a plus: y = 4/11 Substitute the value of y into the original equations to find the value of x: Therefore: x = -4/11 and y = 4/11
