Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are subtracting a negative which is the same as adding.  Our equation becomes -1/3+1/2.  To add fractions we need a common denominator (the denominator of a fraction is the number on the bottom)  To fine the least common denominator we need to find the lowest number that both 3 and 2 go into which is 6.  Then we will multiply each fraction by the number that will give us 6 for a denominator which is 2 for -1/3 and 3 for 1/2.  So -1/3 times 2 is -2/6 and 1/2 times 3 is 3/6.  Our equation is now -2/6+3/6.  Now we will add the numerators ( the numerator is the number on the top of the fraction) and the denominators stay the same when adding or subtraction fractions -2/6+3/6=1/6

I hope this helps and please let me know if there is anything you are confused about or is still unclear, I will be happy to help!

Answer:

y=-1/3x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

You only need to know the y-intercept which is 15, if you drew an imaginary line along the middle of the dots it would go through 15 and not 12.
