Answer: 1/2x -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Half of x , less 5. (5 less just means subtract)
the answer a is 6 and b is 2
Answer:
b = 104
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is expressed as;
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
14 = b - 6/5-(-2)
14 = b - 6/5+2
14 = b-6/7
Cross multiply
b-6 = 14 * 7
b - 6 = 98
b = 98 + 6
b = 104
