Answer:

y + 11 = - 2(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - 2 and (a, b) = (- 1, - 1), thus

y - (- 1) = - 2(x - (- 1)), that is

y + 1 = - 2(x + 1)

Step 1: 12x – 15 – 12x = 7x + 20

stealth61 [152]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. 12x - 15 - 12x = 7x + 20

step 2. 12x - 12x - 15 = 7x + 20 (grouping of terms)

step 3. -15 = 7x + 20 (adding like terms)

step 4. -35 = 7x (subtract 20 from both sides)

step 5. this step is incorrect.

step 6. -5 = x ( divide both sides by 7)

step 7. x = -5 (put the variable first).
