Answer:

y = -1/2 x - 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx+ b

m is the slope of the line

m = -1/2

b is the y-intercept

b = -3.5

Answer:

y=(-1/2)x-3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation (rise/run) with the two marked points, we find that the slope is (1/-2), or -1/2.

The y-intercept, as seen in the graph, is -3.5.

Once you plug the slop and y-intercept into y=mx+b, you get your equation: y=(-1/2)x-3.5

To check your answer, swap x and y out for values of a point on the line. With the point (1, -4)..:

-4=(-1/2)1-3.5

-4=(-1/2)-3.5

-4=-4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of the 6 even integers is the odd integer halfway between the first three and the last three. That average value is 126/6 = 21, so the 4th integer is 21+1 = 22.

_____

All 6 are {16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26}.

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

When (-1,-4) is substituted into the second equation, the equation is true.

The ordered pair (-1,-4) is a solution to the system of linear equations.

When (-1,-4) is substituted into the first equation, the equation is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x - y = 3$

$7x - y = -3$

Required

What is true about $(x,y) = (-1,-4)$

To do this, we substitute -1 for x and -4 for y in both equations;

For $x - y = 3$

$-1 - (-4) = 3$

$-1 + 4 = 3$

$3 = 3$

Hence: $(-1,-4)$ is true for $x - y = 3$

For $7x - y = -3$

$7(-1) - (-4) = -3$

$-7 +4 = -3$

$-3 = -3$

Hence: $(-1,-4)$ is true for $7x - y = -3$
