Answer:

Y=-2x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to know the formula which is Y÷x

Then... The line (1,7)use the coordinates Y and X so it will be as follows... Label 1 and 7 as x, y

So it will be Y-7÷X-1 = the gradient which is - 2

So multiply both sides by X-1

So it will be Y-7=2x+2 again be careful because a negative number multiplied by another negative will give you a positive sign

Remember Y-7....... Take 7 to the other side so it will be a positive...... Then work out the integers

X2 can be combined with X?

natulia [17]

Answer:

Your first instinct might be to go ahead and add the x terms together, BUT this would be a bad thing to do! You cannot combine the x2 and 2x, because the first term has an exponent (2) and the second one does not have an exponent; therefore, you cannot add them together!
