PLEASE HELP. graph the set of points which model is most appropriate for the set (-6,4)(-4,0)(-3,-2)(-1,-7)

1 answer:

7 0

A linear equation would be the best fit, but the last point (-1,-7) kinda messes it up. If the -7 would have been a -6 the line y=-2x-8 would fit perfectly.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you simplify the equations and the left side is identical to the right side, then there are an infinite number of solutions: the equation is true for all values of x.

Another way to simplify the equation is to subtract the right side from both sides. If that simplifies to 0 = 0, then there are an infinite number of solutions.

2x -6 -6x = 2 -4x . . . . eliminate parentheses

-4x -6 = -4x +2 . . . . no solutions (no value of x makes this true)

x +2 = 15x +10 +2x . . . . eliminate parentheses

x +2 = 17x +10 . . . . one solution (x=-1/2)

4 +6x = 6x +4 . . . . eliminate parentheses

6x +4 = 6x +4 . . . . infinite solutions

6x +24 = 2x -4 . . . . eliminate parentheses; one solution (x=-7)
