Answer:
x = 42.67
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A line that passes through (3, -8) and (7,-2).
Denote equation of that line: y = ax + b
=> Slope a can be directly determined by:
a = (7 - 3)/(-2 - -8) = 4/6 = 2/3
=> y = (2/3)x + b
This line passes (3, -8), then: -8 = (2/3)*3 + b => -8 = 2 + b => b = -10
=> y =(2/3)x - 10
There are other ways to find equation of line.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
x = 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
-9(x - 5) = x + 22 1/2
Distribute the nine and then add 9x to both sides
-9x + 45 = x +22 1/2
+ 9x + 9x
Then try to get x alone
45 = 10x + 22 1/2
-22 1/2 -22 1/2
22.5 = 10x

2.25 = x

Answer:
y = -x -12
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line you want is the same as the slope of the line you have: -1. Then the point-slope equation of the line is ...
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line of slope m through point (h, k)
y -(-7) = -1(x -(-5))
y = -x -5 -7 . . . . subtract 7, eliminate parentheses
y = -x -12 . . . slope-intercept equation
