We can use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
From the graph, we see the line crosses the y-axis at y = 15. That means the y-intercept is 15, and we have so far y = mx + 15.
Now we need the slope. On the graph we see that for every 3 units up in y, there is 1 unit to the right in x. The slope is 3/1 = 3. m = 3. Now we add the slope to the equation.
y = 3x + 15
Answer: y = 3x + 15
Answer:
- (-16x² +10x -3) +(4x² -29x -2)
- (2x² -11x -9) -(14x² +8x -4)
- 2(x -1) -3(4x² +7x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
I find it takes less work if I can eliminate obviously wrong answers. Toward that end, we can consider the constant terms only:
- -3 +(-2) = -5 . . . . possible equivalent
- -10 -5 = -15 . . . . NOT equivalent
- 3(-5) -2(5) = -25 . . . . NOT equivalent
- -9 -(-4) = -5 . . . . possible equivalent
- -7 -(-5) = -2 . . . . NOT equivalent
- 2(-1) -3(1) = -5 . . possible equivalent
Now, we can go back and check the other terms in the candidate expressions we have identified.
1. (-16x² +10x -3) +(4x² -29x -2) = (-16+4)x² +(10-29)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK
4. (2x² -11x -9) -(14x² +8x -4) = (2-14)x² +(-11-8)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK
6. 2(x -1) -3(4x² +7x +1) = -12x² +(2 -3·7)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK
All three of the "possible equivalent" expressions we identified on the first pass are fully equivalent to the target expression. These are your answer choices.
If you subtract 16 on both sides... x will be alone. Therefore 51-16=35
x=35 (B)
