Answer:

Always

Step-by-step explanation:

The rules for positive numbers is that addition and multiplication makes numbers larger. Subtraction and division makes numbers smaller.

Since 12 is a positive number, the result of dividing a positive number by 12 will make it smaller.

Point-slope form: y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Standard form: ax + by = c

Slope-intercept form: y = mx+b

Start by finding the slope. We know it is negative since the line is decreasing. The slope is -4/3.

To create point-slope form, we need to get one point from the graph. Let's use (3,0).

$y = -\frac{4}{3}(x-3)$

To create slope-intercept form, we need the slope and the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the point where our equation crosses the y-axis. For this equation, it is 4.

$y = -\frac{4}{3}x + 4$

To get standard form, solve the equation in terms of C.

Point-slope form: y = -4/3(x-3)

Slope-intercept form: y = -4/3x + 4

Standard form: 4/3x + y = 4

Which of the following is an inequality sentence?

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

$C. x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A $[x+5=20]$ tells us that: When we add 5 to a variable x, we get 20. As it has a unique value for x and is completely equal to it(i.e. 15), It is an equality.

Option B $[x=5]$ tells us that: A variable x equals to 5. Hence, as x is unique for 5 and is wholly equal to it, it's an equality too.
Option C $[x$ tells us that: A variable x isn't 5 but lesser than it. As we cannot equate it to 5, nor we are given the nature of the variable x, it is an Inequality.
Option D $[x+5]$ is an expression; It can't be called an equation or an inequality unless we relate it with another expression.
