Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The attachment completes the question
From the attachment, the slope of the line was calculated as:
This step is inaccurate because the slope of a line is calculated using
Which gives
The line equation is then calculated using:
Substitute values for m, x1 and y1
Open bracket
Make y the subject
Y = 12x - 5x - 2
first simplify the equation by subtracting like terms (in this case):
12x - 5x = 7x
y = 7x - 2
Since you are finding the x, you must isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.(Note: because there is a equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other)
y = 7x - 2
y (+2) = 7x - 2 (+2)
y + 2 = 7x
(y + 2)/7 = 7x/7
x = (y + 2)/7
x = (y + 2)/7 is your answer
hope this helps

Answer - D.
you basically find the equation of the line first and eliminate the wrong answers...
Strategy: before u do any of this, label your coordinates as (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2) and u can choose any of ur points to be as x1 or x2 or y1 or y1...
basically, I'll choose (6,7) as (x1,y1) and (2,-1) as (x2,y2). SO,
First you have to find the gradient (m) of the line.
you do this by using the formula m = Y2-Y1 / X2-X1 (where '/' is division sign) ....
Put the numbers in their respective places and your gradient will be 2x. we put the x after our number to represent it as a gradient as the straight line formula is y = mx+c and you've found the m.
NOW.
use the formula Y-Y1=m(x-x1) to find the equation of the line.Again u can use any Y1 and X1 here but remember your m is 2
replace the digits and solve...Hopefully you'll get sth like this if you use the points (6,7):
Y-7 = 2(x-6) ....
y=2x-12+7...
Y=2x-5! <<<< this is your straight line equation!
Now all u gotta do is rearrange all your options into y = mx+c.
D. is incorrect as it gives us y=2x+5 and not y = 2x-5 unlike the others
Hope you get it!
