Answer:
y = -1/3x - 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line is the ratio of vertical distance to horizontal distance between the points. Since the line has to cross through the point (-5,0), count out the slope -1/3 by moving down 1 unit and to the right 3 units. This places the line between -1 and -2 on the y-axis. Looking at the options listed for b in y = mx + b. b = -5/3 is the best option and is between -1 and -2.
Answer:
y-intercept: Put x = 0 in the equation y = 2x - 6 and solve for x. The y-intercept is -6.
First you order them from least to greatest.
5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 12
Then you cross off one number from each side until you get to the middle
Medial = 9
Answer:
p = −1
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Regroup terms.
−6 (p + 8) = 7p − 35
2. Expand.
−6p − 48 = 7p − 35
3. Add 6p to both sides.
−48 = 7p − 35 + 6p
4. Simplify 7p − 35 + 6p to 13p −35.
−48 = 13p − 35
5. Add 35 to both sides.
−48 + 35 = 13p
6. Simplify −48 + 35 to −13.
−13 = 13p
7. Divide both sides by 13.
−1 = p
8. Switch sides.
p = −1
