For what values of k does the line y = kx –4 pass through the point of intersection of the lines y=2x–5 and y=–x+1?

k = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of k, at first we will find the point of intersection of the lines

y =2x –5 and y = –x+1

Solve the equations to together by equating the values of y

So, 2x - 5 = -x + 1

Solve for x

3x = 6 ⇒ x = 6/3 = 2

So, y = -x + 1 = -2 + 1 = -1

So, the point of intersection of the lines ⇒ (2,-1)

line y = kx –4 pass through the point of intersection of the lines

so, line y = kx –4 pass through the point (2,-1)

So, at x = 2 , y = -1

∴ -1 = 2k - 4

Solve for k

-1 + 4 = 2k

2k = 3

k = 3/2 = 1.5

So, the value of k is 1.5

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.

definitely a. the others have almost all data points on one side of the line.
