-13+9=-4
When you add a positive number to a negative number the answer will get closer to 0 and then progress up in positive numbers. In this case we are finding which of the numbers equals -4 when added to -13. Remember, if you add a negative to a negative you will get a negative.
-13+-17=-30 This is the wrong answer.
-13+-9=-21 This is the wrong answer.
-13+17=4 This is the wrong answer. (This is positive 4 we are trying to find -4)
-13+9=-4 This is the right answer
Therefore X=9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:Given Equation of line has slope m=-3/2
So the line passing through (4,6) has the same slope because both are parallel
From slope intercept form we have
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-6=-3/2(x-4)
y-6=-3/2x +3/2(4)
y=-3/2x+12
2y=-3x+24
