The slope is the same as rate of change. In a linear graph, it is the change in y over the change in x.
Answer:
y = x/4 -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
given coordinates : ( -2, -1 ) and ( 2 , 0 )
gradient = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
= 0 - -1 / 2 - -2
= 1/4
equation of line:
y - y1 = m( x - x1 )
y - 0 = 1/4 ( x - 2 )
y = x/4 -1/2
the line shown below to confirm:
Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
Two solutions exist,
2(x - 1) = 8
2x - 2 = 8
2x = 10
x = 5
&
2(x + 1) = 8
2x + 2 = 8
2x = 6
x = 3
the two solutions are 5 and 3
