Answer:

x = -16 / 11

Explanation:

Twelve Less Than A number: x - 12

Is The Same As: =

Twelve Times The Number: 12x

Increased By Four: + 4

x - 12 = 12x + 4

Subtract 12x from both sides

x − 12 − 12x = 12x + 4 − 12x

−11x − 12 = 4

Add 12 to both sides

−11x − 12 + 12 = 4 + 12

−11x = 16

Divide both sides by -11

−11x / -11 = 16 / -11

x = -16 / 11

Graph: y = 3x - 5<br> Plz help

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The equation, y=3x-5 is in y=mx+b format. The b, or -5 in this case, tells you what the y intercept is, or in this case, your starting point. This means your first point will be at (0,-5). The mx, or 3x in this case, tell us how much to move up and how much to move sideways. 3x is equal to 3/1x and the 3/1 tells us the rise/run. Rise being how much to go up or down and run being how much to go to the left or right. So in 3x, the rise is 3 and the run is 1. So you will go 3 up on the y axis and 1 to the right on the x-axis. So your next point will be (1, -2) and the point after that will be (2, 1) and so on!

Answer:

1) $\frac{-8}{11}$

2) $1.276$

3) $\frac{3}{4}$

4) $0$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula of the line that pass across two points P1(x1,y1) and P2(x2,y2) is:

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2-x1} = slope$

You can use this formula to solve all the four points:

$\frac{6- -2}{-9 - 2} = \frac{-8}{11}$

$\frac{- 9.1 - 0.6}{-9.5 - - 1.9} = \frac{97}{76} =(Rounded)= 1.276$

$\frac{2-5}{-2 -2} = \frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{4-4}{-9 --4} = \frac{0}{-5} = 0 \\\\$
