Answer:

x less 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

"x -16.5" means 16.5 is subtracted from x. The resulting value is 16.5 less than x. The wording "x less 16.5" basically means "x minus 16.5" and/or "x reduced by 16.5".

Subtraction is not commutative, so "16.5 decreased (or reduced) by x", meaning "16.5 -x" or "16.5 minus x", is not the same thing.

Please help!!! Which equation is in point-slope form and is depicted by the line in this graph?

Blizzard [7]

Y-y1=m(x-x1)
a point on the line is (x1,y1) and the slope is m

so
slope between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
so

points (-2,3) and (3,0)
slope is (0-3)/(3-(-2))=-3/(3+2)=-3/5
a point is (3,0) Or (-2,3)

so it could be
y-0=-3/5(x-3) or y-3=-3/5(x-(-2)) which is equal to y-3=-3/5(x+2)
that's the answer
B is answer
