Answer:

-(5 n + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-4 (n + 1) - (n + 2)

-4 (n + 1) = -4 n - 4:

-4 n - 4 - (n + 2)

-(n + 2) = -n - 2:

-4 - 4 n + -n - 2

Grouping like terms, -4 - 4 n - 2 - n = (-4 n - n) + (-4 - 2):

(-4 n - n) + (-4 - 2)

-4 n - n = -5 n:

-5 n + (-4 - 2)

-4 - 2 = -(4 + 2):

-5 n + -(4 + 2)

4 + 2 = 6:

-5 n - 6

Factor -1 out of -5 n - 6:

Answer: -(5 n + 6)

Answer: 12

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Average rate of change is the slope (m) between the two coordinates (-1, 3) and (1, 27).

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m = \dfrac{27-3}{1+1}$

$=-\dfrac{24}{2}$

$= 12$

Answer:

y=1/3x + 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1-3/-2-4 = -2/-6 = 1/3

1/3 is the slope

1=-2(1/3) +b

1=-2/3 +b

5/3=b

Write the slope-intercept equation for a line that

Ber [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula tells you the slope is ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (-1 -(-1))/(5 -3) = 0/2 = 0

We can find the y-intercept using the first point:

b = y -mx

b = -1 -0·3 = -1

Then the slope-intercept form is ...

y = mx + b

y = 0·x -1

y = -1 . . . . . simplified

_____

Of course, you can bypass all of that when you realize the two y-values are the same, so the line is a horizontal line with y equal to that value.
