Answer:

(4,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

If you move 5 units to the left, you change the x-value in (x, y) by -5.

Let the original x-value be x:

x - 5 = -1
x = 4

The original x-value is 4. Since you didn't change the y-value (up/down), you can keep the same y-value for the coordinate.

The original point was at (4,5)

Answer:

You started at (4, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first number of coordinate pair is x. you started at the right and THEN moved the the left, as stated in the question. So -1 + 5 is 4.
So you started at (4, 5)

Wich of the following is the correct graph of solution to the inequality -8 >-5x+2>-38

zimovet [89]

-5x + 2 > -38
-5x > -40
x < 8

-5x + 2 < -8
-5x < -10
x > 2

so the inequality becomes
2 < x < 8

so the graph will be a straight line with open circles on 2 and 8 and shading in between these values.

Sam solved the following problem:

Talja [164]

Answer:

Sam made it -24 versus 24 (29-5=24 not -24)

(Sam failed to flip the inequality)

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x + 5 > 29

Subtract 5 from each side

-4x+5-5 > 29-5

-4x > 24 Sam made it -24 versus 24 (29-5=24 not -24)

Divide by -4 Remember to flip the inequality

-4x/-4 < 24/-4 (Sam failed to flip the inequality)

x < -6
