What is an equation for the line that passes through (-2,-3) with a slope of -1/2?

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line use the point slope form of a line substituting m = -1/2 and the point (-2,-3).

y -y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y --3=-\frac{1}{2}(x--2)\\y+3 = -\frac{1}{2}(x+2)

Convert to standard form by applying the distributive property and rearranging the terms.

y + 3 = -\frac{1}{2}(x+2)\\y+3 = -\frac{1}{2}x -1\\2y + 6 = -x -2\\x+2y + 6 = -2\\x + 2y = -8

The equation x +2y = -8 is the same equation as 4y + 2x = -16 just doubled----> 2x + 4y = -16

That would be the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press.

Both of these are without a doubt a center of political to the political system existing in the United States. They state that both the freedom of speech and the press is to be expressed freely. These rights are the key to the political discourse as they allow an honest conversation and exchange of opinion that is of paramount importance in democracy. People are free to express their opinions and through the press they gain the necessary information to make educated decisions about the burning political questions.

Hope this helps!

4y + x = 12, 2x = 24 - 8y<br> Solve by Substitution
Ann [662]

Answer: Undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

4y+x=12, 2x=24-8y

Isolate x by subtracting 4y

4y+x=12

x=12-4y

Plug the equation for x in to anywhere you see the variable x in the other equation

2(12-4y)=24-8y

Distribute 2

24-8y=24-8y

Get the variables on one side so add 8y (cancels out)

24=24

Can’t solve its undefined

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

sin 14 = 0.99

so, 300/0.99 = x

303.03 = x

rounding off to nearest 100 will give 300.
