Answer:

-7/2 is the slope. -10.5 is your starting point on the y-axis. You go from -10.5, up 7 and over to the left 2 times because it's negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

-7x-2y=-21

-2y=7x-21

y=-7/2x-21/2

y=-7/2x-10.5

Hope this helps!

You might want to simplify the equation first. Basically, we'll use y = ax+b instead.

-7x-2y=-21\\-2y=-21+7x\\y=\frac{-21}{-2}+\frac{7x}{-2} \\y=\frac{21}{2}-\frac{7x}{2}\\y=\frac{21-7x}{2}

Should have been like this then you are able to graph.

To graph, you need to find the x-intercept and y-intercept.

(1) Find x-intercept, substitute y = 0

0=\frac{21-7x}{2} \\0=21-7x\\7x=21\\x=3

Thus, the graph has a x-intercept at (3,0). For those who are wondering where does the fractional 2 go, just multiply the whole equation by 2 to get rid of the fraction.

(2) Find y-intercept, substitute x = 0

y=\frac{21-7x}{2}\\ y=\frac{21-0}{2}\\ y=\frac{21}{2} \\

Also 21/2 = 10.5, Thus the graph passes y-axis at (0, 10.5)

Now plot the graph, make a line from x-intercept and y-intercept and you should get like this (Picture below.)

Which equation is an identity?
zloy xaker [14]
3w + 8 - w = 4w - 2(w - 4)
is an identity
3w-w + 8 = 4w - 2w + 8
2w + 8 = 2w + 8
2w - 2w = 8 - 8
0 = 0
zero equal to zero implies that any value of w satisfies the statement 3w + 8 - w = 4w - 2(w - 4) hence it is an identity.

Bridget purchased 3 pairs of shoes online. The total bill of $126.81 included a $7.50 shipping charge and 6% tax on the total pu
Alika [10]

Answer:

$37.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let's set the price of each pair of shoe to be x.

Since each pair of shoes costs the same, and there are three pairs, we can set the original price to be 3x.

Now, to apply the shipping charge, all we have to do is add 7.50 to 3x, getting 3x + 7.5.

Next, to apply a 6% tax, we can multiple the whole expression by (100% + 6%), getting (3x + 7.5) \cdot 106%.

Since the whole bill foots to a total of $126.81, we can set the final equation to be:

(3x + 7.5) \cdot 106\% = $126.81

(3x + 7.5) \cdot \frac{106}{100} = $126.81

3x + 7.5 = $126.81 \cdot \frac {50}{53}

3x = $119.6 - 7.5

3x = 112.1

x \approx \$37

Hope this helped!

-10n + 24 + 30n = -36<br> Solve this equation
vladimir1956 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

- 10n + 24 + 30n =  - 36

Collect like terms and simplify

[tex] -10n+30n=-36-24 \\ 20n = -60 [/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 20

[tex] 20n/20 = -60/20 \\ n=-3 [/tex]

a triangle has two sides that are 2 inches and 12 inches what could be the length of the third side of the triangle
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Hmm, let's see. Well a triangle's dimensions add up to 180. If both sides given add up to 14. Simply subtract 180 by 14. You get, 166. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me on that :)
