Answer:

-10x + y = 63

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the slope of this line. Going from (-7, -7) to (-6, 3), the "run" is +1 (this is the increase in x) and the "rise" is -10 (y increases by 10). Thus, the slope, m, is m = rise / run = 10 / 1 = 10.

Using the point-slope version of the equation of a straight line, we get

y + 7 = 10(x + 7)

Performing the multiplication results in

y + 7 = 10x + 70.

Rearranging these terms in the form Ax + By = C, we get:

-10x + y = 63

Check this by substituting -6 for x and 3 for y:

-10(-6) + 3 = 63 This is TRUE

The sum of the ages of the father and son is 44 years .After 8 years the age of the father will be twice the age of the son . Fi

Vadim26 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of father = x years

and the present age of son = y years

according to the first condition

x + y =44 ........(i)

according to the second condition

x+8 = 2(y+8)

or x+ 8 = 2y + 16

or x- 2y = 8 ............(ii)

solve the equation (i) & (ii) we get

x + y =44

x- 2y = 8

••••••••••••••••••••••••

3y = 36

or y = 12

put the value of y in equation (i), we get

x + 12 =44

or x = 32

so the present age of father = x =32 years

and the present age of son = y = 12 years.

What is the value of x?

AlekseyPX

The horizontal value in a pair of coordinates: how far along the point is. The X Coordinate is always written first in an ordered pair of coordinates (x,y), such as (12,5). In this example, the value "12" is the X Coordinate.

F(x) = -3(x-1) find f(o).

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

f(0) = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

f(x) = -3x + 3

Step 2: Plug in

f(0) = -3(0) + 3

f(0) = 3
