Recall that the slope or gradient of a line segment through two points is the ratio of the change in the <em>y</em> coordinate to the change in the <em>x</em> coordinate.
If the gradient is 1, then
1 = (-3 - 4) / (<em>a</em> - 3<em>a</em>)
Solve for <em>a</em> :
1 = -7 / (-2<em>a</em>)
1 = 7/(2<em>a</em>)
2<em>a</em> = 7
<em>a</em> = 7/2
5x - 4 = -3x + 12.
move -3x to the other side
sign changes to +3x
5x+3x-4= -3x+3x+12
5x+3x-4= 12
move -4 to the other side
sign changes to +4
5x+3x-4+4= 12+4
8x= 16
divide by 8 for both sides
8x/8= 16/8
x= 2
Answer: x= 2
Was there a typo in the possible answers by any chance? B is closest to the possible answer, but only if the division sign was a multiplication sign.
102 <span>÷ 6 = 17
102 </span><span>÷ 17 = 6
17 x 6 = 102
6 x 17 = 102</span>
The sum of the 2 angles will add up to 180°
The answer is d because the line is cutting thru the x axis on 1/3 and then the line cuts thru the y axis on -2 so the answer would be 1/3x-2
