Answer:

We have to prove that,

-2(x+1)=8, then x= -5

L.H.S.

-2(x+1)=8

By distributive property,

-2x-2=8

Adding 2 both sides ( Additive property of equality )

-2x-2+2=8+2

-2x=10

Divide both sides by -2 ( Division property of equality ),

\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{10}{-2}

x=-5

= R. H. S

Hence, proved....

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute the -2 to (x+1) you end up with -2x-2=8 (multiplication property). Add 2 to both sides to get rid of the -2 of the left (addition property). 8+2=10. -2x=10 divide the -2 to both sides. x=-5 (division property).

What is the slope of this line of best fit?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The slope of the line of best fit is \frac{-6}{7}  ⇒ 2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the slope of a line is m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

<em>To find the slope of the best line fit choose two points their positions make the number of the points over the line equal to the number of the points below the line</em>

From the attached graph points (1 , 9) and (8 , 3) are the best choice

∵ The line passes through points (1 , 9) and (8 , 3)

∴ x_{1} = 1 and x_{2} = 8

∴ y_{1} = 9 and y_{2} = 3

- Substitute them in the formula of the slope

∴ m=\frac{3-9}{8-1}=\frac{-6}{7}

∴ The slope of the line of best fit is \frac{-6}{7}
