If you have
|a|=b, then solve for the variable in euations
a=b and a=-b
for ineqalities, it is much trickier

for
|a|>b, assume a>b and a<-b
for
|a|<b, asssume -b<a<b

Write an equation of the line, in slope intercept form.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

y = -3x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

m (slope) = $\frac{-6}{2}$ or -3

b (y-intercept, or where the line crosses the y-axis) = 6

y = -3x + 6

The triangle on the grid will be translated two units left. On a coordinate plane, triangle A B C has points (negative 1, negati

nignag [31]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vertices of triangle ABC are (-1, -1), (-1, -5) and (0.5, -5).

We need to find the coordinates of triangle when it is translated two units left.

So, the rule of translation is

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x-2,y)$

Using this rule, we get

$A(-1,-1)\rightarrow A'(-1-2,-1)=A'(-3,-1)$

$B(-1,-5)\rightarrow B'(-1-2,-5)=B'(-3,-5)$

$C(0.5,-5)\rightarrow C'(0.5-2,-5)=C'(-1.5,-5)$

The vertices of triangle A'B'C' are A'(-3,-1), B'(-3,-5) and C'(-1.5,-5).

Therefore, the correct option is B.
