decide whether the given ordered pair is a solution of the equation:
1. 3y+12x=-4; (1/5, -35/15):
2. 8-3x+24y=0; (5, 23/24)
I think neither of them are.

___
find the slope of the line passing through the points:
7. (-5,5), (-7,-6)

8. (7,12), (4,-13)
--> -25/3
please check these and tell me whats wrong. thanks
I think 6, 7, and 8 need work.
1. To determine whether the given ordered pair is a solution to the equation 3y + 12x = -4, substitute the values of x and y from the ordered pair (1/5, -35/15) into the equation and check if it holds true.
Let's substitute x = 1/5 and y = -35/15 into the equation:
3(-35/15) + 12(1/5) = -4
(-35/5) + (12/5) = -4
(-35 + 12)/5 = -4
-23/5 ≠ -4
Since -23/5 is not equal to -4, the ordered pair (1/5, -35/15) is not a solution to the equation 3y + 12x = -4.
2. Similarly, for the equation 8 - 3x + 24y = 0 and the given ordered pair (5, 23/24), substitute x = 5 and y = 23/24 into the equation:
8 - 3(5) + 24(23/24) = 0
8 - 15 + 23 = 0
16 ≠ 0
Since 16 is not equal to 0, the ordered pair (5, 23/24) is also not a solution to the equation 8 - 3x + 24y = 0.
So, your initial thought is correct. Neither of the given ordered pairs is a solution to their respective equations.
3. To find the x-intercept of the graph of the equation 13x - 24y = -5, set y = 0 and solve for x:
13x - 24(0) = -5
13x = -5
x = -5/13
Therefore, the x-intercept of the graph is x = -5/13.
4. To find the x-intercept of the graph of the equation -14 + 6y = 7x, set y = 0 and solve for x:
-14 + 6(0) = 7x
-14 = 7x
x = -2
Therefore, the x-intercept of the graph is x = -2.
5. To find the y-intercept of the graph of the equation 17x + 4y + 10 = 0, set x = 0 and solve for y:
17(0) + 4y + 10 = 0
4y + 10 = 0
4y = -10
y = -10/4
y = -2.5
Therefore, the y-intercept of the graph is y = -2.5.
6. To find the y-intercept of the graph of the equation 19 + 5y = 15x, set x = 0 and solve for y:
19 + 5y = 15(0)
19 + 5y = 0
5y = -19
y = -19/5
y = -3.8
Therefore, the y-intercept of the graph is y = -3.8.
7. To find the slope of the line passing through the points (-5, 5) and (-7, -6), use the formula for slope:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
Let's calculate the slope:
slope = (-6 - 5) / (-7 - (-5))
slope = -11 / (-7 + 5)
slope = -11 / -2
slope = 11/2
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-5, 5) and (-7, -6) is 11/2.
8. To find the slope of the line passing through the points (7, 12) and (4, -13), use the same formula for slope:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
Let's calculate the slope:
slope = (-13 - 12) / (4 - 7)
slope = -25 / -3
slope = 25/3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (7, 12) and (4, -13) is 25/3.
Based on the explanations and calculations above, everything seems to be correct. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your answers.
