Answer:
y = -1/2 x - 3 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
points (1, -4) (3,-5)
slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)
slope = (-5--4)/(3-1)
= (-5+4) /2
=-1/2
point slope form of a line
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y--4 = -1/2 (x-1)
y+4 = -1/2 (x-1)
if we want slope intercept form
distribute
y+4 = -1/2 x + 1/2
subtract 4 from each side
y+4-4 = -1/2 x + 1/2 -4
y = -1/2 x - 3 1/2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse of a function, what I like to do is to switch the places of x and y, and then try to isolate y again like so:

Answer:
2 x 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of it as "the value 2 is being added together 5 times" being added together so it could be written as 2 times 5.
Answer:
x = 8
y = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
3y - 5x = -61
-----------------------+
-9x = -72
x = 8
3y -5(8) = -61
3y - 40 = -61
3y = -21
y = -7
