K=slope
b=y intercept
find slope
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(x,y)
(1,-2)
(-2,-8)
x1=1
y1=-2
x2=-2
y2=-8
slope=(-8-(-2))/(-2-1)=(-6)/(-3)=2/1=2
k=2
subsitute
y=2x+b
subsitute one point
(1,-2)
x=1,y=-2
-2=2(1)+b
-2=2+b
subtract 2
-4=b
y=2x-4
Answer:
x = 0.9
Step-by-step explanation:
It is convenient to clear fractions by multiplying the equation by the product of the denominators. That gives ...
0.5(4x +9) = 3x(7/3)
Multiplying by 2 will give you ...
4x + 9 = 14x
Subtract 4x
9 = 10x
And divide by 10
9/10 = x
you have to divide 7 by 15 equals .466666666
