Hey there!
First, we see that it's already written in slope intercept, y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept, we just need to simplify the like terms on the right. We have:
y = 12x-5x-2
y = 7x - 2
Now that we have it in slope intercept form, whenever we have an x intercept, since it is crossing the x axis, there's no y value. We plug in 0 for y:
0 = 7x - 2
2 = 7x
2/7 = x
The x intercept is (2/7, 0)
Hope this helps!
3f + 2g = 30 . . .(1)
f + 2g = 26 . . . .(2)
(1) - (2) => 2f = 4 => f = 4/2 = 2
From (2), 2 + 2g = 26 => 2g = 26 - 2 = 24 => g = 24/2 = 12
Therefore, f = 2 and g = 12
ANSWER
EXPLANATION
We can use any two points to determine the slope.
The line passes through;
(-3,1) and (-5,5).
The slope is given by
This implies that;
We can now find the equation using the formula;
Expand:
Answer:
5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Just divide the y numbers by the x numbers and that's it
