answer: y = -1/2x + 1

work:

let's use slope intercept form, or y = mx + b to represent the equation. <em>(m = slope, b = y-intercept)</em>

first, let's find the slope, or m. to do this, subtract the y values over the x values.

4 - 2 / - 6 - - 2  <em>(next: subtract the values)</em>

2 / - 4 <em>(next: simplify)</em>

1 / -2 <em>(next: write as a fraction)</em>

-1/2

so, the slope is -1/2. let's place this into the equation.

y = -1/2x + b.

okay, so to find b, or the y intercept, plug a value for x and y into the equation and solve.

4 = -1/2(-6) + b  <em>(next: multiply)</em>

4 = 3 + b <em>(next: subtract 3 from both sides)</em>

1 = b

so, let's place that into our equation:

y = -1/2x + 1 , this is your complete equation.

<em>hope this helps and have a great day!</em>

3(3 - 8x) - 1 = -6x - 28
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

3(3 - 8x) - 1 = -6x - 28

Distribute

9 -24x -1 = -6x -28

Combine like terms

8 -24x = -6x -28

Add 24x to each side

8-24x+24x = -6x-28+24x

8 = 18x-28

Add 28 to each side

8+28 = 18x-28+28

36 = 18x

Divide each side by 18

36/18 = 18x/18

5( x-3 ) + 2x =41<br> What is x?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

5 ( x - 3 ) + 2x = 41

5x - 15 + 2x = 41

5x + 2x - 15 = 41

7x - 15 = 41

7x = 41 + 15

7x = 56

x = 56 / 7

x = 8

Answer:

x = -6       x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 +x -30 =0

Factor

What two numbers multiply to -30 and add to 1

6 * -5 = -30

6-5 =1

(x+6) (x-5) =0

Using the zero product property

x+6 =0    x-5=0

x+6-6=0-6    x-5+5=0+5

x = -6       x=5
