Answer:
Both ends go down
Step-by-step explanation:
If the degree is EVEN, both ends pint the same way. If it is ODD, they point in opposite directions. The negative sign means the equation is flipped over the x axis and both ends go down.
b
x = -2
y = 7
x = 12 - 2y
7(12 - 2y) + 4y = 14
84 - 14y + 4y = 14
84 - 10y = 14
10y = 70
x = 12 - 2 x 7
x = 12 - 14
