1. First we need to write the equation in slope-intercept form:
3x-y = 5
3x=5+y
3x-5=y
y=3x-5
The slope is the coefficient of x, so slope is 3
2. 2x+y=4
3x-y=1
We need to solve these two equations. We can do this using the substitution method:
Solve one equation for y:
Y=4-2x
Substitute this value for y in the other equation
3x - (4-2x)=1
3x-4+2x=1
5x-4=1
5x=5
x=1
Substitute this value for x in the first equation
2*1+y=4
2+y=4
y=2
Check using the second equation
3*1-2=3-2=1
x=1, y=2
