The easiest way is to graph it based upon the slope (m) and y-intercept (b), in the standard slope-intercept form: y = m (x) + b.
The line above intercepts the y-axis at y = -2, which is b. The slope (m) = rise/run = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1 ); so for the point (-4, 2) to (-6, 4) is:
(4-2)/(-6--4) = 2/(-6+4) = 2/-2 = -1.
So one form of the equation would be:
y = -1x - 2
Now the other form of an equation is point-slope: y-k = m (x-h), where the point is at (h, k)
and if we pick -5 for x (bc 5 it listed in 3 of the answers), the y at x=-5 looks like around +3
so we get: y-k = -1 (x--5)...
y-3 = -(x+5)... therefore D) is the correct answer:
The variable in this equation is b, therefore we have to calculate the value of b.
-38=2b+25-(-7b)
-38=2b+25+7b
2b+7b=-38-25
9b=-63
b=-63/9
b=-7
Answer: the value of the variable is b=-7
We can check it out this answer:
-38=2b+25-(-7b)
-38=2(-7)+25-(-7(-7))
-38=-14+25-49
-38=-38

Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
15 + 6= 21
so 21-6= 15
there for your answer would be 21
