Answer:

x < -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-5<-12, add 5 to both sides so then you get 2x<-8, then divide by two, x<-4 and your answer!

Answer: x<7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. You are moving the constant, 5, to the right-hand side and changing the sign from a - to a +. Your new inequality is 2x<-12+5.

Step 2. Calculate the sum. You are adding -12 and 5. This is what your new inequality looks like: 2x<-7.

Step 3 (final step). You will now divide both sides by 2, and you will get a final answer of x<-7/2.

Hope this helps!

cora says she doesn't need to know the y-intercept of a line to write its equation, just its slope and some other point on the l

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The equation of line with given slope that include given points is 3 y + x - 20 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Cora , if we know the slope and points on a line then we can write the equation of a line .

Since , The equation of line in slope-intercept form is

y = m x + c

Where m is the slope of line , and if we know the points ( x , y ) which satisfy the line then constant term c can be get and the equation of line can be formed .

So , From the statement said above it is clear that she is correct .

Now , Again

Given as :

Slope of a line is m = - $\frac{1}{3}$

That include points ( 2 , 6 )

Now from the equation of line as y = m x + c

∴ 6 = - $\frac{1}{3}$ ( 2 ) + c

Or, 6 = - $\frac{2}{3}$ + c

So , c = 6 + $\frac{2}{3}$

or, c = $\frac{18 + 2}{3}$

∴ c = $\frac{20}{3}$

So, The equation of line can be written as

y = - $\frac{1}{3}$ x + $\frac{20}{3}$

Or, 3 y = - x + 20

I.e 3 y + x - 20 = 0

Hence The equation of line with given slope that include given points is 3 y + x - 20 = 0 Answer
