What is the solution of the system of equations?
y = 1/8x - 1
-5x + 4y = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1/8x - 1sub this back in for y in the other equation

-5x + 4y = -13

-5x + 4(1/8x - 1) = -13

-5x + 1/2x - 4 = -13multiple everything by 2 to get rid of the fraction

-5x(2) + 1/2x(2) - 4(2) = -13(2)

-10x + 1x - 8 = - 26

- 9x = -26 + 8

-9x = - 18

x = 18/9

x = 2now sub 2 in for x in either of the original equations to find y

y = 1/8x - 1

y = 1/8(2) - 1

y = 1/4 - 4/4

y = -3/4

so ur solution is : (2,-3/4) <===

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?

i would love   to but there is no graph shown

i am so sorry
