-12 + 8 - (-9) = 5
Therefore the value of -12 + 8 - (-9) is 5.
I believe the answer is 1/2
I changed 3 1/2 to an improper fraction (7/2), then I had to find the reciprocal of 7, which is 1/7. I then multiplied 7/2 by 1/7 which gave me 7/14, which I reduced to 1/2.
Hope this answers your question.
Answer:
Calculating two points and drawing the line between the two.
Explanation:
To find the y-intercept, put x = 0
y = 2 (0) - 1
y = -1
To find the x-intercept, put y = 0
2x - 1 = 0
2x = 1
x = 1/2
Draw your system of axis. Mark -1 on the y-axis, and 1/2 on the x-axis.
Now draw a line through these two ponts. Add arrows.
==============================================
To draw the graph by using points,
let x = -1, then y = 2 (-1) - 1 = -2 - 1 = -3
first point is (-1; -3)
Let x = 0, y = 2 (0) - 1 = -1
Second point is (0; -1)
Let x = 1, y = 2(1) - 1 = 1
Third point is (1; 1)
Plot the three points and draw a line through them. Add arrows to your line.
