I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
3 x 25 = 75
4 x 12 = 48
75 - 10 = 65
65 + 48 = 113

Answer:
a) |n -11| = 5
b) n ∈ {6, 16}
Step-by-step explanation:
The wording of the question is ridiculous. We assume it is intended to read, "The distance between two numbers is 5. One of the numbers is 11. What are the possibilities for the other?"
a) The distance between a number (n) and 11 can be written as ...
|n -11|
Since we want that distance to be 5, we can write the equation ...
|n -11| = 5
__
b) The equation resolves to two:
Adding 11 to both sides of both equations gives ...
The two solutions are n=6 and n=16.

<em>Comment on the question statement</em>
Increasingly, we see curriculum materials written in Pidgin English or where the words have a meaning different from that understood by a native English speaker. It appears you are the lucky recipient of such materials, so must do occasional "interpretation". Here, it seems that "two time a number" is intended to mean "two numbers."
Answer:
956.80 total week
Step-by-step explanation:
18.40 * 40= $736.00 reg time
18.40*1.5= $27.60 hr for overtime
27.60*8 hrs of ot= $220.80
220.80+736.00= $956.80 total
