→ a
the equation is y = mx ( where m is the slope / constant of variation )
calculate m using the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁) = (0, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 1) ← 2 points on the line
m = =
1)
x+10<-7
bring 10 to the other side
x<-10-7
x<-17
2)
-3x-4>5
bring -4 to the other side
-3x>9
divide -3 at the other side, since it is negative it changes to less than
x<-3
82/100 or 41/50 if you simplify
(x<span> + </span>9)(x<span> – </span>1<span>) = 0. </span>x<span> = -</span>9<span> or </span>x<span> = </span><span>1</span>
Any value? you could use 0 or 1 or 2. All three of these are a group of many that would wokr. Any would work!
