Answer:

x = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate m using the slope formula and equate, since parallel lines have equal slopes.

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (x, - 13)

m = \frac{-13-5}{x+4} = \frac{-18}{x+4} and equating

\frac{-18}{x+4} = \frac{9}{2} ( cross- multiply )

9(x + 4) = - 36 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x + 4 = - 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = - 8

5-|n-1|=-2<br><br> | | stands for absolute value
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

n = 8 or n = −6

Explanation:

First, isolate the absolute value:

5 − |n − 1| = −2

7 − |n − 1| = 0

7 = |n − 1|

Then, split this into two equations, since the result of the absolute value could be positive or negative:

7 = n − 1                           7 = −(n − 1)

8 = n                                7 = −n + 1

                                       n = −6

Here’s a graph of a linear function. Write the equation that describes that function. Express it in slope intercept form.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

y = \frac{3}{4\\}x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope:

    Find two spots where the line intersects and exact point. (-8,-4)(-4,-1)

    Either count up & over or do y1-y2 / x1-x2 (-4+1)/(-8+4) -3/-4 3/4

The intercept is where it crosses the y-axis, in this case 2

Write the equation like this y = mx + b  where m=slope & b=intercept

y = 3/4x + 2
