Answer:
x = -4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
X + B = C
x + (-8/4) = (22/-9)
x = (8/4) - (22/9)
x = 2 - 22/9 = 18/9 - 22/9 = -4/9
parallel lines, have the same exact slope, hmmm what is the slope of y = -2/3 x + 1/3 anyway? well, low and behold, the equation is already in slope-intercept form, therefore
has a slope of -2/3.
so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2/3 and runs through 9,4.
The slope of the line is “rise over run.” That’s the vertical change between the two points (the difference in the y-coordinates) divided by the horizontal change over the same segment (the difference in the x-coordinates).
Answer:
-1.8 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
12(x+3)=-8x
Distribute
12x +36 = -8x
Subtract 12x from each side
12x-12x +36 = -8x-12x
36 = -20x
Divide each side by -20
36/-20 = -20x/-20
-9/5 = x
Changing to decimal form
-1.8 =x
The point would become (8,2)
3+5=8
4-2=2
