Option 1: $y = -3x+3$ is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form is given by:

$y = mx+b$

Here m is the slope and b is y-intercept

Given

m = -3

Point = (-1,6)

Putting the value of slope

$y = -3x+b$

To find the value of b, putting the given point (-1,6) in the equation

$6 = -3(-1) +b\\6 = 3 + b\\b = 6-3\\b = 3$

Putting the value of b in slope-intercept form

$y = -3x+3$

Hence,

Option 1: $y = -3x+3$ is the right answer

If AB = 18 and AC = 3x +6 then x=

ryzh [129]

X would equal 4
set AB=AC
18=3x+6
minus 6 on both sides
12=3x
divide both sides by 3
x=4

HELP!!!!

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You just need the distance formula here. It's very simple to follow:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }$

which, for us, looks like this:

$d=\sqrt{(13-4)^2+(19-7)^2}$ and

$d=\sqrt{9^2+12^2}$ and

$d=\sqrt{81+144}$ and

$d=\sqrt{225}$ so

d = 15

What is the answer to x+a=3/4

Elza [17]

X can equal 2/4
a can equal 1/4

Or x can equal 1/4
and a can equal 2/4

Or x can equal -2/4
And a can equal 5/4

There's a series of values so just pick one set above unless you need the others.
