The difference between 5 times a number and 3 is 12

1 answer:

7 0

5x -3 = 12
5x -3 + 3 = 12 + 3 [Add 3 to each side]
5x + 0 = 15 [Evaluate]
5x/5 = 15/5 [Divide each side by 5]
1x = 3 [Evaluate]

The answer I get is the number 3.

A line intersects the points(-22,-14) and (-18,-12). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

zaharov [31]

Hello there,

Well we are going to start off with the equation to find the slope based on the given points:

$\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

Now using the two given points we are going to plug in and solve:

$\frac{(-12)-(-14)}{(-18)-(-22)}$ = $\frac{2}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

From this you know that $\frac{1}{2}$ is the slope of the equation. However, to find the y-intercept we are going to use y = mx+ b and plug in one of the points to solve:

(-14) = $\frac{1}{2}$ (-22) + b

(-14) = (-11) + b

-3 = b

That means that the y-intercept is at (0, -3). Lastly, we are just going to plug all this into the slope-intercept form:

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ - 3

Hope I helped,
