Answer:
<h2>
y = -⁵/₂x - 12
</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of the equation is y - y₀ = m(x - x₀), where (x₀, y₀) is any point the line passes through and m is the slope:
m = -⁵/₂
(-4, -2) ⇒ x₀ = -4, y₀ = -2
The point-slope form of the equation:
y + 2 = -⁵/₂(x + 4)
So:
y + 2 = -⁵/₂x - 10 {subtract 2 from both sides}
y = -⁵/₂x - 12 ← the slope-intercept form of the equation
None of them have a solution of x, but 5x=15, 7x-2=19, and 5x+6=21 all have the same answer of x=3
Kerry got the correct answer (13). Katie forgot to use PEMDAS.
