Try this solution, note, the shown way is not the shortest one.
The answer is marked with red colour.
The answer would be 15 but i am not sure what the problem says her answer is. if it is not 15 then her answer is wrong
The easiest way is to graph it based upon the slope (m) and y-intercept (b), in the standard slope-intercept form: y = m (x) + b.
The line above intercepts the y-axis at y = -2, which is b. The slope (m) = rise/run = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1 ); so for the point (-4, 2) to (-6, 4) is:
(4-2)/(-6--4) = 2/(-6+4) = 2/-2 = -1.
So one form of the equation would be:
y = -1x - 2
Now the other form of an equation is point-slope: y-k = m (x-h), where the point is at (h, k)
and if we pick -5 for x (bc 5 it listed in 3 of the answers), the y at x=-5 looks like around +3
so we get: y-k = -1 (x--5)...
y-3 = -(x+5)... therefore D) is the correct answer:
Answer:
29
Step-by-step explanation:
1. plug in -10 for x
-2(-10) + 9
2. multiply -2 x -10 = 20
20 + 9
3. add 20 + 9 = 29
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
- vertical angles are pairs of opposite angles made by intersecting lines. and they are congruent
x + 16 = 4x - 5
x - 4x = - 5 - 16
- 3x = - 21
- x = - 21/3
- x = - 7
x = 7
