The first thing I'd do is put this equation into standard slope - intercept form.
12x - 5y = 2 Subtract 12x from each side
-5y = -12x + 2 Divide each side by -5 to isolate the <em>y
</em><em />y = 12/5(x) - 2/5
The slope for this equation is 12/5, so we just take that and plug it into the slope - intercept equation with the given points (2, 3)
y = mx + b Fill in the variables
3 = 12/5(2) + b Simplify
3 = 24/5 + b Subtract 24/5 (or 4 4/5) from each side
-9/5 = b
Now we just fill in the correct variables (m and b) in the equation to have our final answer.
y = 12/5x - 9/5
Answer:x = -11/8 = -1.375
Step-by-step explanation:
X = lesser
x+2 = next even integer; the greater integer
twice the lesser of the two intergers is 2•x
the word is means equal
4 less than 2 times the greater integer
EQUATION: 2x = 2(x+2)-4
2x = 2x+4-4
2x = 2x
x = 0 ANSWER
<span>x=2 = 0+2 = 2 ANSWER.
The equation has one solution because any two conseculive number can give you and answer that always 4 less than two times the greater interger.</span>
It has been given that y varies inversely with x, therefore the equation for this relationship is as follows;
y =
\
when y = -18 and x = 6
-18 = k/ 6 ---1)
We need to find x when y = 5
5 = k/x
when we divide 1)/2), k gets cancelled
x = -18*6/5
x = -21.6
when y = 5, then x = -21.6
