2x - 3y = 7 and -3x + y = 7..multiply Equation 2 by THREE and add to Equation 1
-9x + 3y = 21...........................watch the y's disappear
-7x........ = 28
x = -4
substitute -4 instead of x in either of the ORIGINAL equations
2x - 3y = 7
2(-4) - 3y = 7
-8 -3y = 7..........add 8 to both sides
-3y = 15
y = -5
im not sure
Answer:
slope = -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
A set of three or more points are said to be collinear if they all lie on the same straight line.
We have been given the following collinear set of points;
P(0, 3), Q(2, 0), R(4, -3)
This implies that P, Q, and R lie on the same line.
The slope of a line is defined as; (change in y)/(change in x)
Using the points P and Q, the slope of the line is calculated as;
(0-3)/(2-0) = -3/2 = -1.5
Answer:
-3/2
