Substitute everything in first

3(-2)-1-3(-2)

Then simplify

-6-1+6 = -1

The answer is -1

3 x (-2) - 1 - 3 x (-2)
(Simplify by: Multiplying a positive and a negitive equals a negative:
(+) x (-) = (+))
Multiplying two negitives equals a positive:
(-) x (-) = (+) )
-3 x 2 - 1 + 3 x 2
(Eliminate the opposites)
Answer: -1

B) 17/6

First I multiply 2 times 6 which gave me 12 then I added 12 plus 5 which gave me 17 then I used the number at the bottom which is 6 so the final answer was 17/6

The endpoints of CD are C(–8, 4) and D(6, –6). What are the coordinates of point P on CD such that P is the length of the line s

GalinKa [24]

If you graph the end points C and D then graph the 4 points at the end it is difficult to tell which points are on CD without a line.
Using the endpoints find the slope (change in y/ change in x) then substitute a point in to find the intercept.
Slope = (-6-4)/(6- -8) = -5/7
Intercept equation (-6) = -5/7 (6) + b
b = -1.71428571429
Graphing the line shows only 2 points on the line (–2.75, 0.25) and (0.75, –2.25)
I am confused by the part, "P is the length of the line segment from D". Were you given a length P to help you determine which point. Using the distance formula to find the length from each point to D doesn't help determine which one is best with the information you have given. The image shows the distances I calculated and the graphed points.
I hope this helps!
