Answer: Choice A
y = (-3/4)(x + 4) + 6
=====================================================
Let's go through the answer choices
- Choice A is something we'll come back to
- Choice B is false because the line does not go uphill as we move from left to right. The graphed line has a negative slope, which contradicts what choice B is saying.
- Choice C is false for similar reasons as choice B. The slope should be negative.
- Choice D has a negative slope, but the y intercept is wrong. The y intercept should be 3. So choice D is false as well.
We've eliminated choices B through D.
Choice A must be the answer through process of elimination.

Here's an alternative method:
If we started at a point like (0,3) and move to (4,0), note how the slope is -3/4
This is because we've moved down 3 units and to the right 4 units.
m = slope = rise/run = -3/4
We can also use the slope formula m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to see this.
Then we pick on a point that is on the diagonal line. It could be any point really, but the point your teacher used for choice A is (x1,y1) = (-4,6)
So,
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 6 = (-3/4)(x - (-4))
y - 6 = (-3/4)(x + 4)
y = (-3/4)(x + 4) + 6
Commenter jdoe said it right: solve for y and leave the rest on the other side.
-x + 3y = 6
3y = 6 + x add x on both sides
3y = x + 6 rearrange to get the x first
y = (x + 6) /3 divide both sides by 3
y = x/3 + 6/3 split the numerator (caution - never split denominators)
y = x/3 + 2 simplify 6/3
Thus the line in slope intercept form of y = mx + b is y =

2x Kimberly( Joe)-28/2=14
Brina-I don’t know:((
It’s either 28/‘33=9.33
Or 28*.33=84.
Answer:
I'm old and the way I was taught about fraction division was:
INVERT AND MULTIPLY.
SO: (5/8) divided by (1/4) equals
(5/8) multiplied by (4/1) which equals (20/8) or 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
ANSWER
The value of a and b are:
EXPLANATION
The expression given to us is
We square both sides of the equation to obtain
We now find the prime factorization of 648 to obtain,
We now compare the exponents on both sides of the equation to obtain,
Therefore the correct option is C
