Divide by 7.
... |-7x -3| = 3
Unfold to two equations.
... -3 = -7x -3 . . . . . the content of the absolute value is negative
... 0 = -7x . . . . . . . . add 3
... 0 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by -7
and
... 3 = -7x -3 . . . . . . the content of the absolute value is positive
... 6 = -7x . . . . . . . . add 3
... -6/7 = x . . . . . . . . divide by -7
The solutions are ...
... x = -6/7 or x = 0

Many graphing programs will happily tell you the locations of x- and y-intercepts, so it is convenient to rewrite the equation so its value is zero at the solution points. We can do that by subtracting the right side constant to get ...
... 7|-7x -3| -21 = 0
Answer: god it's hard, but i will try
Miranda's I think because her car may take more gas but it goes a farther distance
Solution: Below! ^^
Detailed explanation:
Hii! I'm sorry, I can't graph the line for you, but I'll try to give you the best possible explanation.
First, note that the question provides us with the info that the y intercept is -8. This is a very valuable piece of information!
This means that the line crosses the y axis (since it's the y intercept) at the point (0,-8). Plot it on the co-ordinate plane.
Next, this question also provides us with the fact that the slope of the line is 1/4. This is yet another valuable piece of information!
What this tells us is: from that point (0,-8), you need to go up 1 unit, then over 4, and so forth, until you obtain a line.

y = 0.25x - </span>€ comparing to y = mx + c
m = slope = 0.25 or (1/4)
