Question 82152: OK, the problem is: Solve the system of equations using the substitution method.
If the answer is a unique solution, present it as an ordered pair: (x, y). If not, specify whether the answer is “no solution” or “infinitely many solutions.”
-7x + y = 4
2x + 8y = 0
my understanding is; I should first solve the top equation because the y has a coefficient of 1 (not sure why, but that's my guess) when I do this I get:
x = -(-y+4/7) and then I am lost . . .

Question 82223: I know how to do graphs but I do not know how to do slopes could someone help me please.
Find the slope of the graphed line
I did the graph and I tried to copy and paste it here but it would not paste. The graph points are (-5,-2) and (5,-2) with a trend line going through from the left side to the right side. I am sorry that I could not put the actual graph here it would have been easier for you to understand what I am talking about, but all of you are smarter in math than I am you should be able to figure it out without any problems. Again Thank all of you for all of your help.
