No, this is not valid. In the picture below,

If x is the amount that Tanya paid for each item, then Tony's items would be x-2.25. So:
3x=4(x-2.25)
3x=4x-9
x=9
x-2.25=6.75
Tanya spent $9 on each item; Tony spent $6.75 on each of his items. ☺☺☺☺
-3 2/3 I just changed the mixed number into a improper fraction
X=5 because you plug in the y into the equation y-x=17
Answer:
1/2 is the slope of the line
Step-by-step explanation:
To find slope, use the following equation
slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
First, set each coordinate. Let:
(x₁ , y₁) = (8 , -6)
(x₂ , y₂) = (4 , -8)
Plug in the corresponding numbers for the corresponding variables.
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
m = (-8 - (-6))/(4 - 8)
Simplify. Note that two negative signs would result in a positive sign.
m = (-8 + 6)/(4 - 8)
Combine like terms.
m = -2/-4
Simplify. Divide common factors from both the numerator and denominator.
m = (-2/-4)/(-2/-2) = 1/2
1/2 is the slope of the line
