Use the number line to answer the question. A number line going from negative 5 to positive 5. Point A is negative 1, point B is
0, point C is 1, and point D is 4.5. Which statement about graphing rational numbers is true? The graphs of all rational numbers will be to the right of point B. The graphs of all rational numbers will be to the left of point B. Point D does not represent a rational number. All of the points on the graph could represent rational numbers.
Step-by-step explanation: In a function, what you want to do is plug in the value they give you for x. This means you substitute x with the value they are looking for.
In this case, they are looking at 12 and -7. Let's do 12 first.
The equation becomes (12^2) - 7. 12^2 is 144, and 144-7 is 137.
Now we do -7. The equation becomes (-7)^2 - 7. -7^2 is 49, and 49 - 7 is 42.
