When subtracting fractions, you need to make sure the denominators are the same. In 2/3 - 1/2, the denominators are different. To make them the same, find the least common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 6
2/3 becomes 4/6
1/2 becomes 3/6
Now subtract the fractions with the common denominator
4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6
The answer is 1/6

Y=-4x-1. Since the 1 has to be negative since the equation is y=mx-b. M is the slope and b is the y intercept
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept is where the line passes through the y-axis
On this graph, we can see this is at the point (0, 2)

Answer:
11. 78
12. 4x² - 3x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
11. Sum of n whole numbers = ½(n² + n)
Multiply
½*n² + ½*n
= n²/2 + n/2
To find the sum of the first 12 whole number, substitute 12 for n into the equation.
= 12²/2 + 12/2
= 144/2 + 12/2
= 72 + 6
= 78
12. Area of trapezoid = ½(a + b)*h
Where,
a = 5x - 4
b = 3x + 2
h = x + 1
Area = ½(5x - 4 + 3x + 2)*(x + 1)
Area = ½(8x - 2)*(x + 1)
Area = ½[8x(x + 1) -2(x + 1)]
= ½[8x² + 8x - 2x - 2]
Add like terms
= ½(8x² - 6x - 2)
= ½(8x²) - ½(6x) - ½(2)
= 4x² - 3x - 1
