Answer:

7x - 15 = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

The key word is "difference" so keep that in mind. 7 times a number and 15 is 41. The "number" is unknown so a variable can be put in place until the number is known. The whole equation equals 41. The word "and" is where the "difference" or subtraction sign should go. Now we have a translated description! I hope this helps and if I'm wrong, please let me know!

Equation of a straight line (see attached)

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$
