-4 would be your slope, and 2 would be your y-intercept. Place your first point at (0,2) and then count 4 spaces down and one space to the right for your next point.
8x-7y=42 24x+y=170 An easy way to begin is to solve for one variable in one of your two equations. I will use the second equation to solve for y: 24x+y=170 y=170-24x This solution for y will then be plugged into the first equation so the equation will be of one variable, and therefore solvable: 8x-7y=42 8x-7(170-24x)=42 8x-1190+168x=42 176x=1232 x=1232/176=7 x=7 The solution we made for y can now be used with the solved value of x to find y's numerical value. y=170-24x y=170-24(7) y=170-168 y=2 So, finally, we get that x=7 and y=2
That's where x = 0. Replace x = 0, then solve for "y'.
eqn1 5x - y = -6eqn2 -x + y = 2rearrange eqn1 to isolate yy = -1*(-6-5x)y = 6+5xsubstitute this into eqn2-x + 6 + 5x = 24x + 6 = 24x = -4x = -1substituting this into eqn1-5 -y = -6y = 1
y = -4x The y-intercept is zero. That is, the graph passes through the origin.
This question cannot be answered because there is no graph to tell where the y-intercept is.
