Answer: 9x-3x and 5x+x
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Brianna's thinking is incorrect because of course, when x is 0, the expression will equal whatever value isn't an x term. To find equivalent expression, you actually need to find which expressions have the same amount of x terms and the same value.
2. Expressions A and C are equivalent.
3. Expression A can be simplified, as you can do 9x - 3x = 6x, so your final expression would be 6x - 4. Expression C can also be simplified with 5x + x = 6x, which can then also be written as 6x - 4. This means both expressions have the same amount of x terms, and the same value, so they are equivalent.
Answer:
y = -4x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point-slope form.

is the equation of the line containing point (x1, y1) and having slope, m.
The given point of the perpendicular bisector is (-1, -2), so in this case, x1 = -1, and y1 = -2.
We need the slope of the perpendicular bisector. First we find the slope of the segment. We start at point (-5, -3). We go up 1 unit and 4 units to the right, and we are at another point on the segment. Since slope = rise/run, the slope of the segment is 1/4. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, so the slope of the perpendicular bisector is the negative reciprocal of 1/4, so for the perpendicular bisector, m = -4.
Now we use the equation above and our values.
