Given:

The inequality is

9x+9>12x+6

To find:

The mistake in the given solution and correct it.

Solution:

We have,

9x+9>12x+6

Isolating variable on one side, we get

9x-12x>6-9

-3x>-3

On dividing both sides by -3,  we get

\dfrac{-3x}{-3}

Because if an inequality is multiplied or divided by a negative number, then the sign of inequality must be changed.

x

Therefore, there is a mistake in last step because the sign of inequality remains same after diving it by -3 and the correct solution is x.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (4, -6)<br>and (8, -4)
QveST [7]

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-4}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-4}-\stackrel{y1}{(-6)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{8}-\underset{x_1}{4}}}\implies \cfrac{-4+6}{4}\implies \cfrac{2}{4}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-6)}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{4}) \\\\\\ y+6=\cfrac{1}{2}x-2\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x-8
