I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
19 out come

Answer:
{(0, 0), (1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
the x in the ordered pair is not suppose to repeat, clearly this doesn't
Answer:
6 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is find the difference between the numbers in each factor pair and make sure the factors combine to give 48.
2 and 4 . . . . . have a difference of 2, but 2·4 ≠ 48
4 and 6 . . . . . have a difference of 2, but 4·6 ≠ 48
6 and 8 . . . . . have a difference of 2, and 6·8 = 48
24 and 2 . . . . do not have a difference of 2
Step 1. Simplify 1/3x to x/3
-x/3 > 5
Step 2. Multiply both sides by 3
-x > 5 * 3
Step 3. Simplify 5 * 3 to 15
-x > 15
Step 4. Multiply both sides by -1
x < -15
Your answer is A.
