For this case we have that the point-slope equation of a line is given by:
Where:
m: It is the slope of the line
It is a point through which the line passes
In this case we have to:
Substituting in the equation we have:
Answer:
We just need to replace the value of the slope
It is 28 i think been 3 year since i did this
Cramer's rule works as follows:
x+3y=16
3x+y=8
Then
x=Dx/D
y=Dy/D
where Dx,Dy,D are 2x2 matrices formed from of coefficients and right hand side.
D=
1 3
3 1
=1-9=-8
Dx=matrix D with first column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
16,3
8 1
=16-24
=-8
Dy=matrix D with second column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
1 16
3 8
=8-48
=-40
Therefore
x=-8/-8=1
y=--40/-8=5
Check:
x+3y=1+3(5)=16
3x+y=3(1)+5=8 ok.
Answer: The slope is -6/5
