Answer - D.

you basically find the equation of the line first and eliminate the wrong answers...

Strategy:  before u do any of this, label your coordinates as (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2) and u can choose any of ur points to be as x1 or x2 or y1 or y1...
basically, I'll choose (6,7) as (x1,y1) and (2,-1) as (x2,y2). SO,

First you have to  find the gradient (m) of the line.
  you do this by using the formula m = Y2-Y1 / X2-X1 (where '/' is division sign) ....
Put the numbers in their respective places and your gradient will be 2x. we put the x after our number to represent it as a gradient as the straight line formula is y = mx+c and you've found the m.
NOW.
use the formula Y-Y1=m(x-x1) to find the equation of the line.Again u can use any Y1 and X1 here but remember your m is 2

replace the digits and solve...Hopefully you'll get sth like this if you use the points (6,7):
Y-7 = 2(x-6) ....
y=2x-12+7...
Y=2x-5! <<<< this is your straight line equation!
Now all u gotta do is rearrange all your options into y = mx+c.
D. is incorrect as it gives us y=2x+5 and not y = 2x-5 unlike the others 
 

Hope you get it!

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answers and Step-by-step explanation:

12: The 5s are worth a lot more than the 2s. The 5s are worth fifty thousand and five thousand whereas the 2s are only worth two hundred and twenty.

13: She needs 4 forks (2000 - 1996 = 4)

    She needs 255 knives (2000 - 1745 = 255)

    She has 226 extra spoons ( 2116 - 2000 =  116)

14+14p=21 solve for p
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to solve the following equation for <em>p. </em>Let's first switch 14 and 14p around so we have 14p + 14 = 21.

<em />

To solve this equation for <em>p</em>, we must first isolate the term containing <em>p</em> which in this case is 14p.

Since 14 is being added to 14p, we need to subtract 14 from both sides of the equation.

14p + 14 = 21

        -14   -14

On the left side of the equation, the positive 14 and negative 14 cancel each other out and we have 14p. On the right side of the equation, we hav 21 - 14 which gives us 7.

Now we have the equation 14p = 7.

Since <em>p</em> is being multiplied by 14, to get <em>p</em> by itself, we divide both sides of the equation by 14.

On the left side of the equation the 14's cancel and we are left with <em>p</em>. On the right side of the equation, 7 divided by 14 is 0.5 which is our answer.

Therefore, p = 0.5 which is the solution for our equation.

Remember, you can always check your solution by substituting a number in for a variable to make sure the equation is true.
