Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

What do the places mean? I’d say the signs are negative since both values are (-3) and (-5), but i don’t know what you mean by placed - if they were placed in a number line, it would go 3 and 5 values left or down.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of the line =(7- -5) / (-3-1) = 12 / -4 = -3
a. point slope form is y + 5 = -3(x - 1) Answer
b rearrange to slope-intercept form:-
y = -3x + 3 - 5
y = -3x - 2 Answer
3x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 ....subtract 12 from both sides
3x^2 - 7x = -12 ....divide both sides by 3 to get x^2 by itself
x^2 - 7/3x = -4
His work is not accurate because he divided the second term by 4 instead of 3.
