One of the lines passes through points (0, 6) and (-4, 3). Hence the equation is given by:
(y - 6)/(x - 0) = (3 - 6)/(-4 - 0)
(y - 6)/x = -3/-4 = 3/4
4(y - 6) = 3x
4y - 24 = 3x
3x - 4y = -24
The other line passes through points (0, -3) and (1, 0). Hence the equation is given by:
(y - (-3))/(x - 0) = (0 - (-3))/(1 - 0)
(y + 3)/x = (0 + 3)/1
y + 3 = 3x
3x - y = 3
Therefore, the system of equations representing the graph is:
3x - 4y = -24
3x - y = 3

Number 19 you are comparing one measurement to another. Since it says 1/2 inch equals 4 ft, we want to find out how many more inches are needed if the given scale was 2/3 = 4 ft. Now lets find a common denominator for both scales stated in inches. We have 2/3 inch and 1/2 inch. Our denominator are the bottom parts of the fraction where we need to find a common factor for the denominator so we can add or subtract fractions. We have a 3 and a 2. You may always use the multiplication between two denominators to find a common factor such as 3 times 2 which equals 6 for both denominators. Now we multiplied the 3 by 2 to get 6 so the top part (numerator needs to be multiplied the the 2 because we changed the bottom part by 2 as well. You should notice that when you reduce your fraction now 4/6 is 2/3. Just a self check example there. As for 1/2 we multiplied a 3 to get 6 for the denominator so we need to multiply the numerator by 3 as well. You now should have 4/6 and 3/6. Since the question asks for how many more inches we need to subtract 4/6 from 3/6 and we get 1/6 inch for our answer.
9^-2 = 1/81 or 0.0123
When there is a negative in front of the exponent it makes a fraction. It is usually just 1/the number it equals if it were positive.
Plug in 3 for f(x)
f(3)=(3)²+7
f(3)=9+7
f(3)=16
Hoped this helped!
