-4 is closer to 0 on the number line than -10, which makes it greater, 10, since it's a positive is farther away from 0 which makes it greater and 4 is closer which makes it lesser

Construct a linear equation for the linear data presented in the table

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

y = -7x

Explanation:

Take two points from table: (-4, 28), (-3, 21)

Find slope:

$\sf slope: \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1} \ \ where \ (x_1 , \ y_1), ( x_2 , \ y_2) \ are \ points$

$\rightarrow \sf slope\ (m): \dfrac{21-28}{-3-(-4)} = -7$

Now find equation:

$\sf y - y_1 = m (x - x_1)$

$\rightarrow \sf y - 21 = -7(x - (-3))$

$\rightarrow \sf y = -7(x +3) + 21$

$\rightarrow \sf y = -7x -21 + 21$

$\rightarrow \sf y = -7x$

6 and Find the value of this expression if x y--1. xy2 -5

zysi [14]

Answer:

y = 5; x = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 1 -----> x = 1/y

xy^2 = 5 -----> 1/y * y^2 = 5

y^2 / y = 5

y = 5

5x = 1

x = 1/5

Hope this Helps!
