Answer:

Explanation:

- Since y = -1, we will substitute the y variable in the equation for -1.

-1 = -5/2x + 4

- Take away 4 from both sides in order to find out what x equals so we can substitute it.

5 = -5/2x

- turn it into a positive by multiplying each side by -1.

-1(-5 = -5/2x) =

5 = 5/2x

- Divide each side by 5.

1 = 1/2x

- Multiple both sides by 2.

2 = x

- Substitute the variables.

x = 2

y = -1

-1 = -5/2(2) + 4
