Answer:
The equation of the line is y = 1/4x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, start with two points that are on the line. We'll use (0, -4) and (4, -3). Now we can use the slope formula to find the slope.
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-4 - -3)/(0 - 4)
m = -1/-4
m = 1/4
Now that we have this, we can use that slope and a point in point-slope form. Then we solve for y to get the equation.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - -4 = 1/4(x - 0)
y + 4 = 1/4x
y = 1/4x - 4
No x does NOT equal 16. you would substitute x for 16 which gives you 16+12. That equals 28 not 30. The correct answer is x=18
