Answer: x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(x-4)=-8

divide both sides

x-4=4

move constant to the right

x=4+4

add the number

x=8

I hope it helped!

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

First distribute the -2 to (x - 4), -2 × x is -2x and -2 × -4 is 8. The equation should now look like this, -2x + 8 = -8. Then subtract the positive 8 from both sides, giving you, -2x = -16. Then divide both sides by -2 and you should get 8 as your answer.

Answer:

Something like this

Step-by-step explanation:

distance √(-1 - 5)² + (-6 - -4)² = √36 + 4 = √40 = 6.32

slope = 2/-6 = -1/3

distance (-1,-4) to (0, -4.63)

√(-1 - 0)² + (-4 - -4.63...)² = √1.4 = 1.18

6.32 - 1.18 = 5.14

1.18 : 5.14

part A)

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
hours(x)&velocity(y)\\
-----&-----\\
1&6\\
3&2
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 1}}\quad ,&{{ 6}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{ 3}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{2-6}{3-1}\implies \cfrac{-4}{2}\implies -2$

$\bf y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})\implies y-6=-2(x-1)\\
\left. \qquad \right. \uparrow\\
\textit{point-slope form}
\\\\\\
y-6=-2x+2\implies y=-2x+2+6\implies \boxed{y=-2x+8}$

part B)

well, we know y = -2x+8.... so.. what's the runner's velocity after 5hours? well, x = 5, thus y = -2(5) +8 ---> y = -2

to graph it, well, is a LINEar equation, meaning the graph is a LINE, and to graph a line, all you need is two points, and by now, you have more than two.. so graph it away.
