Answer: x = −12
Step-by-step explanation:
−27 = x −15
x − 15 = −27
x − 15 + 15 = −27 + 15
x = −12
To find the slope given two points, you need to subtract the two y values over the two x values
(-5,-3) (9,-6)
-5 will be x1, and -3 will be y1. 9 will be x2, and -6 will be y2. You then need to put the numbers in the correct place in the equation.
y2-y1 -6-(-3) -9
-------- = -------- = ----
x2-x1 9-(-5) 14
Now that we have the slope (-9/14) you can use one of the coordinates to find the value of b.
Let's use (9,-6).
-6=-9/14(9)+b
-6=-81/14+b
+81/14
b=-3/14
Your final equation is y=-9/15x-3/14
2!!! I better get 5 points
It will take 6 years for that to happen.
You can find this by setting Nichole's age as x and Sophie's age as x + 28 since she will always be 28 years older.
Now we are looking for a time that Sophie's age is equal to 2 less than 6 times Nichole's age. So we can set up the below equation.
6(x) - 2 = x + 28
6x - 2 = x + 28
5x - 2 = 28
5x = 30
x = 6
This let's us know that it needs to be when Nichole is 6, which is 6 years in the future.
