What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1, -7) and has a
slope of 2?

y=2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation looks like y=mx+b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is already given to us, so m is 2.

To find b use the equation . So, to find the y-intercept use b=-7-(2*-1). This equals b=-5.

So, plug in the values to get the final equation y=2x-5.

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
