Answer:3/2
3x3-2x2-7x+6=x+1(Multiply the numbers)
9-4-7x+6=x-1(Calculate)
11-7x=x-1(Move the terms)
-7x-x=-1-11(Collect like terms&calculate)
-8x=-12(Divide both sides by -8)
x=3/2
We develop the equation for each of the tracks that will be walked through by Jill and Lori.
Jill: y - 2 = ((2 - -4)/(4 - -2))(x - 4) ; y = x - 2
Lori: y - 6 = ((-4 - 6)/(4 - -1))(x + 1); y = -2x + 4
The intersection of these equation is (2,0).
Vertical lines have undefined slope. They are not y=mx+b equations, but simply x= equations.
This line passes through the point (-1,12) has an x-value of -1. Therefore the equation of the line is simply x=-1
