Find the value of q in the following system so that the solution to the system is. {(x, y) : x-3y=4}. x-3y=4 , 2x+qy=8

1) First eqation x-3y=4 2) 2x+qy=8 It looks like if first equations is multiplied by 2 we get second equation, So let do it 2x-6y=8 So we see that in place of q is -6

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!

Distance=slopeslope is -2/4which equals-1/2the distance between these two points is -1/2
