Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 1 = -1
2x = -1 - 1
2x = -2
x = -2 ÷ -2
x = 1
y-y1 = m (x-x1) y+3 = (1/4)(x+4) [using point (x1,y1)] or y–1 = (1/4)(x–12) [using point (x2,y2] [let's use this one since you did] To put this into Standard Form (Ax+By=C), y–1 = (1/4)(x–12) 4y - 4 = x - 12 -x + 4y - 4 = -12 [subtract x from both sides] -x + 4y = -8 [add 4 to both sides] x - 4y = 8 [multiply by (-1) to have x-coefficient positive
