Answer:
x = -3/14
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2(2x-1) = -1/7 -4/7
Combine like terms
1/2(2x-1) = -5/7
Multiply each side by 2
2*1/2(2x-1) = -5/7*2
2x-1 = -10/7
Add 1 to each side
2x-1+1 = -10/7 +1
2x = -10/7 +7/7
2x = -3/7
Divide by 2
2x/2 = -3/7 *1/2
x = -3/14
Identify the slope, m. This can be done by calculating the slope between two known points of the line using the slope formula.
Find the y-intercept. This can be done by substituting the slope and the coordinates of a point (x, y) on the line in the slope-intercept formula and then solve for b.
The slope of the line is 4/1 and the y-intercept is -1.
