jdoe0001 · Answer

if you were to solve by "y" say
-5x + 2y = -4 

what would that give you?

anonymous · Answer

Do you mean solve "for" y?

jdoe0001 · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

$$-5x +2y =-4$$
$$2y =5x$$
$$y =\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }x -2$$
This would give you our beloved "favorite" form of a line; Slope-Intercept form OR
y=mx+b

anonymous · Answer

It cut off my middle equation of 2y=5x-4

jkbo · Answer

thank you both

jkbo · Answer

but I m not sure if it is B. or C. @jdoe0001

jdoe0001 · Answer

well, the "y" for the 1st one is correct as anthonyc123 showed
y = 5/2 x -2

the 2nd one is
y = 2x -2

now just graph those 2
the solution is where they cross each other

jkbo · Answer

I got D. is that correct?
