x y
------ -----
-9 -2
-5 -7
-1 -12
3 -17
ur x's all have a difference of 4, and ur y's all have a difference of -5...so yes, this is linear with a slope of (-7+2) / (-5 + 9) = -5/4
We know that y is equal to x-2. We can just substitute x-2 for y since y is equal to it.
10x- 9(x-2)=24
Distribute.
10x- 9x+18= 24
x+18= 24
Subtract 18 on both sides.
x= 6
Now, plug in x.
y= (6)-2
y= 4
We can check this to see if this works:
4= 6-2, 4=4
10(6)- 9(4)= 24
60-36= 24, 24=24
x=6 and y=4
I hope this helps!
