Answer:
C) y+2=-1/2(x+4)
Step-by-step explanation:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
m=slope & (x1, y1) is a point on the line
m=-1/2
y-(-2)=-1/2(x-(-4))
y+2=-1/2(x+4)
Answer: -185 (choice D)
=========================================================
Explanation:
- x = first integer
- x+1 = second integer
Note how x+1 follows immediately after x. That's what "consecutive" means by definition. An example of consecutive integers would be 7,8,9,10.
Adding those two said integers will lead to -371
first+second = -371
x+(x+1) = -371
2x+1 = -371
2x = -371-1
2x = -372
x = -372/2
x = -186
x+1 = -186+1 = -185
Note how -186+(-185) = -371 to confirm the answer.
The two consecutive integers that add to -371 are -186, -185. The larger of the two is -185 since it's more to the right on the number line.
