First find the slope of the line so change in y over change in x so 4-2/1-2 which is 2/-1 so -2 is your slope then plug that as well as a point from above to find your y intercept so y=mx+b 2=-2(2)+ b then you have 2=-4+b then add 4 to each side and you find b is six then you make ur equation from your slope and y int(b) y=-2x+6
This question doesn’t make sense, double check you wrote it right
A. -(a+5)
Because the negative sign is outside the parenthesis, multiplying by -1 just removes the negative sign:
-(a+5) * -1 = a+5
B. -(-x+31)
Apply the distributive property:
-(-x+31) becomes (- -x +31) which simplifies to (x+31)
multiply that by -1 to get -x+31
C. -(4x+12)
Because the negative sign is outside the parenthesis, multiplying by -1 just removes the negative sign:
-(4x+12) * -1 = 4x+12
