It is! When you're doing a fraction specifically like that, the denominators cancel out. Therefore you can get rid of the 12. It just becomes 21/7, which as you know is 3.
Hope that helps :)
Answer:
I dont know what options you have but all these are possible answers
y - 5 = 1/2 ( x - 4 )
y - 3 = 1/2 x
y = 1/2 x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the equation you need a slope, so you find the slope of both points by using the slope equstion
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
and you would get :
now you plug it into the point slope formula which is y - y = m ( x - x )
and you choose one of the two sets of points that they provided in the question but you'll get the same answer either way.
4(x+2)+2=14
4x+8+2=14
4x+10=14
Subtract 10 from both sides
4x=4
Divide by 4 on both sides
x=1
