It's just like multiplying and dividing a negative, such as -1 *2=-2 and -2 / 1= -1
if there is one negative then it will be negative, so in this case it will be -7 / 2=
answer= -3 1/2
Answer:
y = -1/4x - 6
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
<u>Algebra I</u>
Slope Formula: ![m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m%3D%5Cfrac%7By_2-y_1%7D%7Bx_2-x_1%7D)
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Find points from the graph.</em>
Point (-4, -5)
y-intercept (0, -6)
<u>Step 2: Find slope </u><em><u>m</u></em>
- Substitute:
![m=\frac{-6+5}{0+4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m%3D%5Cfrac%7B-6%2B5%7D%7B0%2B4%7D)
- Add:
![m=\frac{-1}{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m%3D%5Cfrac%7B-1%7D%7B4%7D)
<u>Step 3: Write linear function</u>
y = -1/4x - 6
-8+4x=-20x-25+7x
4x+20x-7x=-25+8
17x=-17 /17
x=-1
2 3/4 is greater then 2 2/3
