Answer: -221

Step-by-step explanation:

31 is smaller than 252. Therefore, since 31 MINUS x equals 252, x needs to be a negative number in order to complete the equation (recall that a negative number times a negative number equals a positive number).

Therefore, if we subtract 31 on both sides, in other words transpose, we get,

-x = 221

The coefficient of -x is -1, however it is not written as it's implied that if there is not written coefficient in from of a variable then the coefficient of the variable is 1 or -1, depending on its sign.

Therefore, dividing -1 on both sides, we get,

x = -221

Hence, the desired answer is -221.

Which of the following could be the equation of the graph shown below?

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

B and C.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is a horizontal line so is not possible.

B. is one possibility.

Convert C and D to slope-intercept form:

-4x + 2y = -6

2y = 4x - 6

y = 2x - 3.

This is also possible.

2x + 3y = -9

3y = -2x -9

y = -2/3 x - 3.

This has a negative slope so not possible.

Solution:

(1) Midpoint:

A point in the middle of the line segment that divides it into two equal parts.

Mid point formula:

$$\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}\right)$

Middle of a segment; in the form of a coordinate plane.

(2) Slope:

To find the slope of the line when passing through two points.

Slope formula:

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

(3) Distance:

To find the distance of two points.

Distance formula:

$\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$
