Answer:
y = 1/4 x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
To write the equation of a line, find from the line the slope and y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis which here is at point (0,-2).
The slope of the line is found by writing a ratio between the vertical distance and the horizontal distance between points.
Slope is 1/4.
Substitute m = 1/4 and b = -2 into the slope intercept form y = mx + b.
y = 1/4 x - 2
Answer:
x = -13
Step-by-step explanation:
-5(x - 1) = -7(x + 3)
Distribute on both sides.
-5x + 5 = -7x - 21
Add 7x to both sides.
2x + 5 = -21
Subtract 5 from both sides.
2x = -26
Divide both sides by 2.
x = -13
Answer:
the oldest sibling is 12 years old.
The middle child is 9 years old.
The youngest child is 6 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of the youngest child be x
Then the oldest child will be 2x.
The middle child will be x + 3.
Since the combined age is 27;
x + 2x + x + 3 = 27
4x = 27 - 3
x = 24 / 4
x = 6
now 2x = 12 and x + 3 = 9
