First add 7d to both sides:
-22 = 11d
Now divide by 11 both sides
-2 = d
You can work on either side of the equation, I used the right side for the variables because it was easier to add to positive numbers than dealing with negative numbers on the left side:
-7d -4d = 22
-11d =22
d = -2
either way you get the same answer :)
Parallelograms and trapezoids always do.
(Note: "Parallelograms" includes rectangles, squares, and rhombussesses.)
Any polygon with more than 4 sides <u>can</u> have at least one pair of parallel sides,
but it's not guaranteed.
To form an equation with the given information, we use the formula :
y = mx + b, m being the slope and b being the y-intercept.
Since it is given that the slope is -9/7, we substitute m with -9/7.
y = -9/7x + b
To find b, we will substitute the known coordinates into the equation :
At point (-7 , 4), x = -7, y = 4
4 = -9/7 (-7) + b
4 = 9 + b
b = 4 - 9
b = -5
Now we know that b = -5, we will substitute b = -5 into the equation that we found earlier, y = -9/7 x + b :
y = - 9/7x - 5
To make it more readable, we can multiply the equation by 7:
7y = -9x - 5
7y + 9x + 5 = 0

Answer : 7y + 9x + 5 = 0

Answer:
The pair (0,3) is not a solution to the equation
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be proved by simply replacing the x and y variables in the equation by the x and y values of the pair, and checking if the equation renders a true statement:
By replacing x and y with their values in the pair (0,3), that is x=0 and y=3, in the equation y = 5 - 2x we get:
3 = 5 - 2 (0)
3 = 5 - 0
3 = 5
which is NOT a true statement.
On the other hand, the other two pairs (2,1) and (1,3) render true statements:
1 = 5 - 2 (2)
1 = 5 - 4
1 = 1
and
3 = 5 - 2 (1)
3 = 5 - 2
3 = 3
