What is the result of subtracting the second equation from the first?x - 3 y = 6-8x - y = 6 |
|
Answer» Step-by-step EXPLANATION: x - 3y = 6 and y = 3x + 2 The second equation is in the format of... y=mx+b, m is the slope. Let's convert the first equation... x - 3y = 6 Let's subtract x from both sides... -x+x-3y=-x+6 -3y=-x+6 Let's divide both sides by -3... (-3y)/-3=(-x+6)/-3 A negative NUMBER divided by a negative number results in a POSITIVE number. y=(1/3)x-2 |
