For x = ay - bz:
Add bz to both sides:
ay = x + bz
Divide a on both sides:
y = (x + bz)/a
For xy + yz = 10:
Distribute y from the left side:
y * (x + z) = 10
Divide by x + z:
y = 10/(x + z)
For (ab - ac)/z = x:
Multiply by z on both sides:
ab - ac = xz
Take out a from the left side:
a * (b - c) = xz
Divide by b - c on both sides:
a = xz/(b - c)
Ok to figure it out you first find the common factor, which is 12
so the fractions become 8 3/12 and 10/12 then you subtract those 2,
8 3/12-10/12 is 7 5/12.
Hope That Helps!!!
-1/2 because slope is the rise over the run. If you count on the grid from one point on the line to another you go up one and 2 to the left meaning the slope is 1/2, buttttt when the line decreases going to the right, it has a negative slope so you just add a - sign in front
The answer to your problem is -1x.
