Question

Given the equation -4x+3y=-17 find the value of y if the ordered pair (2,y) is a solution

Answer 1

-3

Explanation:

First - change the equation to y=mx+b format

3y/3 = 4x/3 - 17/3

y = 4/3x - 17/3

Second - then (2,y) plug x = 2

Third - solve

y = 4/3(2) - 17/3

y = 8/3 - 17/3 = -9/3 = -3
