Answer:
0=−5
Step-by-step explanation:
(1,-5) and you start at -5 and go down 1 point over one and then up one over 1
Well, first put the function in slop-intercept form (y = mx + b). 2x + y = 12, y - 2x = 12 - 2x, y = -2x + 12. So y = -2x + 12 is the slope-intercept form. Then graph the function to solve for all possible solutions to the function. In y = mx + b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept. In y = -2x + 12, m equals -2, so the slope is -2, and b equals 12, so 12 is the y intercept. Make a point on the y intercept at y = 12. The slope is -2, or -2/1. The graph will be sloping downward. From the point at y = 12, move down two units and to the right one unit and make another point. Then from this new point move down two units and to the right one unit and make another point, and so on. Then to extend the graph in the other direction, start at the point y = 12 and move two units up and one unit to the right and make a point there. Then from this new point move two units up and one unit to the right and make another point there, and so on.
Answer: If you multiply a number by a fraction less than 1, the resulting product will be smaller than the original fraction.
Imagine, if you had half a pizza and you ate one-half of that. You would multiply 1/2 by 1/2 and get an even smaller number. The result would be 1/4.
On the other hand, if you multiply a number by a mixed number that is larger than one, the result would be larger than when you started.
