Answer:
B) y = x + 2 and y = -x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of a straight line with x-intercept 'a' and y-intercept 'b' be

The line with positive slope has x-intercept a=-2 and y-intercept b=2.
Its equation is:

Multiply through by 2

Solve for y,

For the line with a negative slope,
the x-intercept is a=-4 and the y-intercept is b=-4
Its equation is

Multiply through by -4

Solve for y

Answer: #20, x = 3
#21, x = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
#20) x + 4 + x + 2+ x + 5 = x + 3 +x+3+x+1+x+1
3x + 11 = 4x + 8
<u>-3x -3x</u>
11= x + 8
<u> - 8 - 8</u>
3 = x
#21) 12x(5) = 6x + 9 + x + 10 + x + 7
60x =8x + 26
<u> -8x -8x</u>
52x = 26
divide both sides by 52
x = 1/2
Multiply .025 by 16. You always move the decimal to the left two places to turn a percentile to a decimal.
