Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that with the provided information they are given you not ust the slope of the line (-2), but also the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis which happens when x=0).
So you can directly write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form [ where "m" is the slope and "b" the y-value when x=0].
Such gives us:
2A) C is correct.
2B) If x + 13 = 28, solve.
If x = 15 and x + 13 = 28, you can solve it two ways:
1. Plug x into 4x + 26 to get a perimeter of 86, or
2. Redo the equation:
3a. Since the 6z is negative, you want an expression the has 5z - (11z). Answers A and D have that in their answer.
But since the 13 is positive, you want the answer that subtracts the smaller number from the larger. Thus, D is your answer since it subtracts 2 from 15.
3b) You think about this question the same way; 6z is positive, so the smaller number is being subtracted from the larger, meaning that 11z - 5z is what you look for. C and D are the two that have that, so now let's look at the second term.
The 13 is negative, so you want the answer that has 2 - 15. The answer that has that is D.
Hope this helps :D
