Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, you input the value of y (y = 6) into the equation ( 2.5(y-x)= 0)

2.5(6-x) = 0

Open the bracket,

(2.5×6)-2.5x= 0

Collect like terms.

2.5x= 2.5×6

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x (2.5)

x = 6

So,

x= 6 is true.

Substituting 6 for x in the equation,

2.5(6-6)= 0

2.5•0 = 0

0= 0

Which is also true.

Answer:

3¼

Step-by-step explanation:

$formula \frac{{y}^{2} - {y}^{1} }{ {x}^{2} - {x}^{1} }$

We take any of the two points shown in the question. I will take (-3, 1) and (1, 14).

x¹ = -3

y¹ = 1

x² = 1

y² = 14

Now, we sub these figures into the formula.

$\frac{14 - 1}{1 - ( - 3)}$

This leaves us with 14-1/1+3, which we can make into 13/4

13/4 = 3¼

Disclaimer: It is not actually x (or y) in the power of two, but a way to distinguish one x (or y) from the other. It is a label of sorts.
