Jane's age is 5 years less than 3 times her brothers age. jane is 11 minus her brothers age. how old is jane?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Jane's age

Let y reprsent her brother's age

x=3y-5

x=11-y

subtract

0=4y-16

-4y=-16

y=4

plug back into equation

x=3y-5

x=3(4)-5

x=7

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)

okay wait before i answer, is this for your points on a graph?
