Answer:

A. -1/8 x + 3/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute -1/2 over the parentheses

-1/2 ( 1/4 x - 3/8 )

-1/2 (1/4 x) - 1/2 (-3/8 )

multiply fractions to simplify

-1/8 x + 3/16

Write the equation of the line passing through the points (-4,-1) and (2,8)

klio [65]

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Calculate the slope with two given coordinate points by using rise over run.

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Let these points

$\begin{cases}(x_1, y_1) = ( - 4, - 1) \\ (x_2, y_2) = ( 2, 8) \end{cases}$

$m = \frac{8 - ( - 1)}{2 - ( - 4)} \\ m = \frac{8 + 1}{2 + 4} \Longrightarrow \frac{9}{6} \Longrightarrow \frac{3}{2} \\ m = \frac{3}{2}$

Slope-Intercept

$y = mx + b \\ m = slope \\ b = y - intercept$

Substitute the value of m in the equation.

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + b$

Substitute any coordinate points that are given or part of the graph in the equation.

$(x_, y) = ( - 4, - 1)$

$- 1 = \frac{3}{2} ( - 4) + b$

Solve the equation for b-term.

$- 1 = \frac{3}{ \cancel{2}} ( \cancel{ - 4}) + b\\ - 1 = 3( - 2) + b \\ - 1 = - 6 + b \\ - 1 + 6 = b \\ 5 = b$

Rewrite the equation by substituting the value of b in the equation.

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 5$

<h3>Answer</h3>

$\large \boxed{y = \frac{3}{2} x + 5}$

X − 3 − 2(6 − 2x) = 2(2x − 5)

Finger [1]

Multiply the first bracket by -2

Multiply the second bracket by 2

x-3-12+4x= 4x-10

- negative number times + positive number= - negative number

- negative number times -negative number = + positive number

x+ 4x-3-12= 4x-10

5x-15= 4x-10

Move 4x to the other side

5x-4x-15= 4x-4x-10

x-15= -10

Move -15 to the other side

x-15+15= -10+15

x= 5

Answer : x= 5
