Answer:

y = \frac{4}{5} x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, - 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 1)

m = \frac{1+7}{5+5} = \frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}, thus

y = \frac{4}{5} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (5, 1), then

1 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 4 = - 3

y = \frac{4}{5} x - 3 ← equation of line

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Pull out like factors

  2x + 24  =   2 • (x + 12)

2x + 24 = 2x + 24

This equation is a tautology or an Identity meaning it's always true.

Given the function f(x)=2x-7. What is x when f(x)=17?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = 2x - 7

f(x) = 17

Step 2: Substitute

17 = 2x - 7

Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>

<u>Add 7 on both sides:</u> 24 = 2x

<u>Divide both sides by 2:</u> 12 = x

Step 4: Check

f(12) = 2(12) - 7

f(12) = 24 - 7

f(12) = 17
