In order to solve this equation, let's write it out in number form:
-3 - x = -10
In order to isolate 'x' we need to ensure that there is only 'x' on one side. We can get rid of the -3 by adding 3 to both sides:
-3 + 3 - x = -10 +3
-x = -7
Because there are negatives on both sides, you can simply cancel them out:
x = 7
The goal is to find the radius of a circle which also helps to get the diameter. Finding the center helps to measure and know the circumference.
When x = 1, y = (5 - 3) / -2 = -1 , let x1 = 1 and y1 = -1
2y = 3x - 5
so slope = 3/2
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y -(-1) = (3/2)(x - 1)
y + 1 = 3/2 ( x - 1) <----- answer
