{{:(hx +4y=-10),(kx +3y=-15):} If the graphs of the lines in the system of equations above intersect at (-3,1), what is the value of k /h ? |

Answer» `1/3` `(-3,1),` then the solution to the system is `x =-3and y =1.` Substitute these values into both equations and go from there : `HX -4y=-10""kx + 3y=-15` `H (-3) -4 (1) =-10"" k (-3)+3 (1) =-15` `-3h -4 =-10 "" -3k +3 =-15` `-3h=-6 ""-3k=-18` `h=2""k=6` So, `k/h=6/2=3,` making (C ) correct. |
