You would have to add a positive 6 to the negative 6 to get zero. Lets say you have -2 in order to get it to zero or just any positive number, you have to add a positive of the same value or higher to be able to get it there. I hope you understand that.
Y-y1=m(x-x1)
m= slope =-3
y-y1=-3(x-x1),
y1=-7, x1=5
y--7=-3(x-5)
y+7=-3(x-5) this is C
-2x+9. just distribute a -1
Answer:
12,400
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the current employees be x
65% increase in number = 0.65x
If the total number of employees after the increase is 20,460, then;
x + 0.65x = 20,460
1.65x = 20,460
x = 20,460/1.65
x = 12,400
Hence the current number of employees is 12,400
Answer:
y = -2x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The line crosses the y-axis at -3, so that is the y-intercept.
It has a "rise" of -2 units for each "run" of 1 unit, so the slope is -2. (For example, from point (-1, -1) to point (0, -3).)
The slope m and y-intercept b are used in the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line:
y = mx + b
For the values this line has, the equation is ...
y = -2x -3
