What expression is equivalent to 12 - 1/2(x + 12)

Mathematics

lyudmila [28]3 years ago

Distribute the -1/2 to both x and 12

-1/2(x) = -1/2x
-1/2(12) = -6

12 -  (-1/2x) - 6

Simplify: Note, two negatives = one positive

12 + 1/2x - 6

Simplify: combine common numbers together

12 - 6 + 1/2x

6 + 1/2x


1/2x + 6 is your equivalent expression

Find the equation of the line passing through points (-4,2) and (1,-6)
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

y + 6 = (-8/5)(x - 1) in point-slope form

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from the 1st point to the first, we see that x (the 'run') increases by 5 from -4 to 1, and y (the 'rise') decreases by 8.  Thus, the slope of the line through these two points is m = rise / run = -8/5

Now we have two points on the line, plus the slope.  Let's write out the point-slope formula for the equation of a straight line:

y - k = m(x - h), where (h, k) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line.

Here, using the point (1, -6), we obtain:

y + 6 = (-8/5)(x - 1) in point-slope form

How do you find the y-intercept of a line?
pogonyaev

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y= mx+b, where my is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the lone crosses the y axis.

Simplify without using the absolute value sign<br><br> | x- ( - 18) | if x &gt; - 18
slega [8]
The expression would be > 0.

Subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive; therefore -18--18 = -18+18 = 0.  Since we know that x>-18, 0 is below anything we could get from this.
