What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line containing the point (-5, 1) and having the slope 7?

y = 7x + 36

Step-by-step explanation: Slope intercept form is y = mx + b where your slope is m, your b is the y-intercept, and x and y are your plot points. To solve this you just plug in the numbers. We already know the slope is 7 so we have our m, now we plug in the coordinate (-5, 1) with -5 as x and 1 as y. Plug them in and now you have the equation 1 = 7(-5) + b. You want to solve for b. So you end up getting b= 36. Now you have your y intercept so your final equation is y = 7x + 36. Hope this helped!!

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
