Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

The best explanation is noticing that in order to get from the point R (12, 1) to the point Q (7, 4) we move 5 units to the left and 3 units up. And to go from point Q (7, 4) to point P (2, 7) we do exactly the same: move 5 units to the left and 3 units up. That means that these points are all connected via the same rate of change: - 3/5, which is in fact the slope of the line the three points belong to.

Hi there!

Here are some examples for you:

Two one step equations:
6x = 36
y + 5 = 10

Two equations containing fractions:
1/2x = 4
3/4y + 1 = 8

One equation using the distributive property:
2(x + 5) = 3

One equation with a decimal:
2.5x + 5 = 10

One real world problem that is solved by an equation:
At the beginning, I had 5 cups of flour. I made a batch of cookies. Now, I have 3.5 cups of flour. How much flour did I use?
5 - x = 3.5

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
