So subtract 55 from 35
35 - 55 = -20
then, put -20 over 55
-20/55 equals -0.36 repeating, rounded to -0.36, which equals 36%
the negative stands for decrease, so it's around 36% decrease
<span>y=−3x+2</span> is a linear equation in slope-intercept form with
slope <span>m=<span>(−3)</span></span>
(and y-intercept <span>=2</span>)
We want the equation of a line with slope <span>m=<span>(−3)</span></span> through the point <span>(<span>−2</span>,<span>−8</span>)</span>
Using the point-slope linear equation form:
<span><span>(y−<span>(−8)</span>)</span>=<span>(−3)</span><span>(x−<span>(−2)</span>)</span></span>
Simplifying
<span>y+8=−3x−6</span>
or, in standard form
<span>3x+y=−<span>14</span></span>
3x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 ....subtract 12 from both sides
3x^2 - 7x = -12 ....divide both sides by 3 to get x^2 by itself
x^2 - 7/3x = -4
His work is not accurate because he divided the second term by 4 instead of 3.
Answer:
C. -9
Step-by-step explanation:
The pattern is clearly subtracting 4 each time (or adding -4).
-5 - 4 = -9
