(05.02) For the following system, if you isolated x in the first equation to use the Substitution Method, what expression would you substitute into the second equation? (5 points)

−x − 2y = −4
3x + y = 12

−2y − 4
2y − 4
2y + 4
−2y + 4

4th option

Step-by-step explanation:

From

- x - 2y = - 4 ( add x to both sides )

- 2y = x - 4 ( add 4 to both sides )

- 2y + 4 = x , so

Substitute x = - 2y + 4 into the second equation

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
