Lets solve the equation first:
<span> 0.5 – |x – 12| = –0.25
</span>= 1/2 - |x - 12| = -1/4
= 2 - 4<span>|x - 12| = -1
= 4|x - 12| = 3
= |x - 12| = 0.75
positive case, x >= 12
x - 12 = 0.75
x = 12.75
negative case, x < 12
x - 12 = -0.75
x = 11.25
So those are the two solutions.
These apply:
</span>1.) The equation will have no solutions.
2.) A good first step for solving the equation is to subtract 0.5 from both sides of the equation.
<span>3.) A good first step for solving the equation is to split it into a positive case and a negative case.
</span><span>5.) The negative case of this equation is x – 12 = –0.75.</span>
Answer:
2.92 Rounded to the 100th
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to find the slope-intercept form is to plug the given values into point-slope form, y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1}), where x_{1} and y_{1} are the coordinate points and m is the slope. Then, you solve for y.
y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1}) Plug in the values
y - (-4) = 34 (x - 5) Fix the minus negative four
y + 4 = 34 (x - 5) Use the Distributive Property
y + 4 = 34x - 170 Subtract 4 from both sides
y = 34x - 174
The slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through (5, -4) and has a slope of 34 is y = 34x - 174.
The abscissa is the x coordinate whereas the ordinate is the y coordinate. Both x and y are positive in the first quadrant only.
