First we calculate the slope (which is called "m".

Slope = m = (Y2 -Y1) ÷ (X2 -X1)

m = (-8 -1) / (5 -2) = -9 / 3 = -3

We next fill in this equation: b = y -mx

We know m = -3 and we can choose a point (2, 1) to calculate "b"

b = 1 --3 * 2 b = 7

Putting this into y = mx +b

y = -3x +7

ASAP!: can anyone solve three times the difference of Federico age and 4 increased by 7 is greater than 37 what are possible val
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Federcio's age possible values are those that are greater than 14 i.e 15, 16, 17 and so on

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Federico's age = x

Three times the difference of Federico’s age, and 4 means:

3(x - 4)

Increased by 7:

3(x - 4) + 7

Is greater than 37:

3(x - 4) + 7 > 37

Solving the inequality:

3x - 12 + 7 > 37

3x - 5 > 37

3x > 37 + 5

3x > 42

x >42/3

x > 14

Federcio's age possible values are those that are greater than 14
