A system of equations is created by using the line represented by 2x+4y = 0 and the line represented by the data in

the table below.

What is the x-value of the solution to the system?

Answer:

2

Explanation:

The slope of the line represented by the table is ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (-4 -8)/(3 -(-1)) = -12/4 = -3

The y-intercept of that line is ...

b = y -mx

b = 8 -(-3)(1) = 5

Then the slope-intercept equation of the line represented by the table is ...

y = mx +b

y = -3x +5

Substituting that into the equation for the given line, we have ...

2x +4(-3x+5) = 0

2x -12x +20 = 0

20 = 10x . . . . . . . . add 10x and simplify

2 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The x-value of the solution to the system of equations is x = 2.
