6p - (5p + 5) = -8 - 2(p +12)

*Simplify both sides of the equation by distributing*

6p − 5p − 5 = −8 + −2p - 24

*Combine like terms*

p − 5= −2p − 32

*Add 2p to both sides*

3p − 5 = −32

*Divide both sides by 3*

p = -9

Graph by using the slope and the y intercept.

Mashutka [201]

1. a) equation of the line :

$y = \dfrac{2}{5}x - 7$

y - intercept = -7

so, it will pass through point (0, -7)

and if we plug the value of x as 5, we get

$y = (\dfrac{2}{5} \times 5) - 7$

$y = 2 - 7$

$= - 5$

so, it will pass through point (5, -5) too

now, just plot the points (0 , -7) and (5 , -5) and join them.

2. b) equation of line is :

$y = - 3x + 5$

here, y - intercept = 5

so the line passes through point (0 , 5)

now, Plugging the value of x = 1 we get :

$y =( - 3 \times 1) + 5$

$y = - 3 + 5$

$y = 2$

so, the given line passes through point (1 , 2)

plotting the points, we can get our required line.

Which equation represents a linear function?

Mila [183]

The equation y - 2 = -5(x - 2) represents a linear function ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is any function that graphs to a straight line

(not a vertical line)

The forms of the linear equation are

y = m x + b, where m is the slope of the line which represents the function and b is the y-intercept ⇒ slope-intercept form
$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$ , where m is the slope and $(x_{1},y_{1})$ is a point lies on the line which represent the function ⇒ slope-point form
Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constant ⇒ standard form
