Answer:
y = -4x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is given by the formula ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (-10 -10)/(2 -(-3)) = -20/5 = -4
__
The y-intercept is given by ...
b = y1 -m(x1)
b = 10 -(-4)(-3) = 10 -12 = -2
Then the slope-intercept equation is ...
y = mx +b
y = -4x -2
Answer:
3 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Make the fractions into improper fractions:
2 1/2 = 5/2
1 1/3 = 4/3
5/2 × 4/3 =
5×4/2×3 =
20/6 =
10/3 =
3 1/3
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert every fraction to an improper fraction just to make it easier.
43/10 - (12/5x + 11/2) = 1/2 (-18/5x + 6/10)
Distribute.
= 43/10 -12/5x - 11/2 = -18/10x + 6/10
Simplify using the common denominator, which is 10.
43/10 - 24/10x - 55/10 = -18/10 + 6/10
Isolate the x.
-24/10x + 18/10 = -43/10 + 55/10 + 6/10
Simplify.
-6/10x = 18/10
Multiply by the reciprocal (basically dividing fractions)
18/10 x -10/6
= -3
