slope-point form:
we need the slope (m) and a point.
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
Given two point A(x₁,y₂) and B(x₂,y₂), the slope of the line is :
m=(y₂-y₁) /(x₂-x₁)
Example 3:
we can take two points:
A(12,2)
B(13,7)
m=(7-2) / (13-12)=5/1=5
therefore:
y-2=5(x-12)
y-2=5x-60
y=5x-60+2
y=5x-58
answer: y=5x-58
Example 4:
we can take two points.
A(0,0)
B(3,1)
m=(1-0)/(3-0)=1/3
Therefore:
y-0=1/3(x-0)
y=x/3
answer: y=x/3
The value of the variable x in the equation –x + 8 + 3x = x – 6 is - 14.
<h3>How to find variable in an equation?</h3>
The variables of an equation can be found as follows:
–x + 8 + 3x = x – 6
The variable in the equation is x.
Therefore,
–x + 8 + 3x = x – 6
combine like terms on the left side
-x + 3x + 8 = x - 6
2x + 8 = x - 6
subtract x form both sides of the equation
2x - x + 8 = - 6
x + 8 = -6
subtract 8 from both sides
x = -6 - 8
x = - 14

Hey there, Lets solve this step by step.
<span>A number t divided by 82
</span>
Let the number be represented by y.
<span>t divided by 82 = t / 8
</span>
Therefore-
<span>In algebraic expressions, "y" is normally used as the dependent variable and "x" is normally used as the independent variable, instead of other variables. So that is why i used the variable y in the equation. </span>
