Answer:
y = -2x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's just put the three points together.
(-1, 5) (-4, 11) (-7, 17)
First, let's find the slope with y2 - y1/x2 - x1
Plug in using (-1, 5) and (-4, 11)
11 - 5/-4 + 1 = 6/-3 (simplify)
-2 is the slope
Now plug in (-7, 17) in the equation to get b or the y-intercept)
y = mx + b
17 = -2(-7) + b
17 = 14 + b (subtract 14 on both sides)
3 = b
y = -2x + 3

so all you have to do it devide 735÷82
4. Let the numbers be x - 2, x, and x + 2, where x is an odd number.
2(x² - 4) - 4x = (x + 2)² + 21
2x² - 8 - 4x = x² + 4x + 4 + 21
2x² - 4x - 8 = x² + 4x + 25
x² - 8x - 33 = 0
(x - 11)(x + 3) = 0
x = 11, or -3
When x = 11, x - 2 = 9, x + 2 = 13
When x = -3, x - 2 = -5, x + 2 = -1
Explanation: You are on the right track. However, rather than having three unknown variables, try to reduce your working out to one unknown variable. Since you know they are consecutive odd numbers, you can simply let x be the middle term and the other two be + and - 2, provided x is an odd number.
That will reduce your variable issues, and helps as the first and third provide a difference of two squares, and this works out very nicely.
Q5: is essentially the same process. Let your variables be something in the form of one unknown variable, and you should be okay from there. Let me know if you're stuck.
