Answer:

y = -x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given (-5,14), (-2,11), (1,8), and (4,5).  Your first objective is to find the slope.

Slope is delta y divided by delta x - the amount of height the graph gains divided by the amount of horizontal length the graph gains.  Take any two points and plug it into this: \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}.

i.e. (-2,11) and (4,5): \frac{11-5}{-2-4} which is \frac{6}{-6}, or -1.  Thus, the slope is -1.

We now have y = -1(x) + b, or just y = -x + b.

Next, find the y-intercept.  Set the value of x to 0, as the y-intercept is found along the y-axis, which is at the horizontal center of the graph, 0.  We now know that the y-intercept is (0,y).  To find the y-value, plug one of the coordinate pairs of choice into x and y.

i.e. (-5,14): 14 = (-1)(-5) + b

14 = 5 + b

14 - 5 = 5 + b - 5

9 = b

So, the y-intercept is (0,9).

Finally, the equation is:

y = -x + 9

Digiron [165]

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the number as x

12x-40=7x+25

collect like terms

12x-7x=25+40

5x=65(divide both sides by 5)

x=13

Therefore number is 13
