First we find the slope between the two given points.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-5 - 2)/(7 - 6) = -7/1 = -7
Now we use the slope-intercept equation of a line.
y = mx + b
We use one point as x and y, and we solve for b.
2 = -7(6) + b
2 = -42 + b
b = 44
The equation is
y = -7x + 44
Answer: f(x) = -7x + 44
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "B. 6/19." Jerry has taken a random sample of students and determined the number of electives that each student in his sample took last year. There were 19 students in the sample.
They are algebraic symbols or known as unknown number. There is no true value for them. The value of algebraic symbols are based on equations
ie. 1+x = 2
First, we isolate the x by canceling the +1 FROM BOTH SIDES(Balance method) by -1 ON BOTH SIDES.
1+x-1 = 2-1
So we are left with the x on the left side, and a single number on the right side. Therefore, our calculation is complete.
x = 1
More complex cases would be
2y-3 = 45
First, we need to isolate the algebraic symbol, which is 2y (yx2) by +3 ON BOTH SIDES
2y-3+3 = 45+3
2y = 48
WE ARE NOT DONE! 2y=48 is still an equation. Therefore, to isolate the y, we need to divide BOTH SIDES by 2
2y/2 = 48/2
y = 24
There is no true or absolute or definite value for algebraic symbols like x,y,z,a,c,t,h,d etc. They are used to represent unknown numbers.

Answer:
(B) A location
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have a point on a graph or number line, it always represents a certain location on the graph.
For instance, if we have a point on the x=3 line and the y=4 line, the point would represent the location (3,4).
Hope this helped!
Answer:
Hey there!
I'm sorry, but your friend is right.
It is the difference between -40 and 12, which is 52.
Let me know if this helps :)
