6x + 5y = 4 5. and 6x – 7y = –20 what does x and y equal?

x=-1 y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Elimination or Substitution (Elimination shown below)

6x+5y=4

6x-7y =-20 <- Multiply by -1

-6x+7y=20

12y = 24

y=2

Plug back into either of the equations and solve for x.

6x + 10= 4

6x = -6

x = -1

Double check work:

-6+10 = 4

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
