Answer:

  (a) -(x+7)/y

  (b) (x+7)/-y

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways you can show expressions are equivalent. Perhaps the easiest and best is to put them in the same form. For an expression such as this, I prefer the form of answer (a), where the minus sign is factored out and the numerator and denominator have positive coefficients.

The given expression with -1 factored out is ...

  \dfrac{-x-7}{y}=\dfrac{1(x+7)}{y}=\boxed{-\dfrac{x+7}{y}} \quad\text{matches A}

Likewise, the expression of (b) with the minus sign factored out is ...

  \dfrac{x+7}{-y}=\boxed{-\dfrac{x+7}{y}}

On the other hand, simplifying expression (c) gives something different.

  \dfrac{-x-7}{-y}=\dfrac{-(x+7)}{-(y)}=\dfrac{x+7}{y} \qquad\text{opposite the given expression}

__

Another way you can write the expression is term-by-term with the terms in alpha-numeric sequence (so they're more easily compared).

  Given: (-x-7)/y = (-x/y) +(-7/y)

  (a) -(x+7)/y = (-x/y) +(-7/y)

  (b) (x+7)/(-y) = (-x/y) +(-7/y)

  (c) (-x-7)/(-y) = (x/y) +(7/y) . . . . not the same.

__

Of course, you need to know the use of the distributive property and the rules of signs.

  a(b+c) = ab +ac

  -a/b = a/(-b) = -(a/b)

  -a/(-b) = a/b

__

<u>Summary</u>: The given expression matches (a) and (b).

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

Sometimes, when I'm really stuck trying to see if two expressions are equal, I subtract one from the other. If the difference is zero, then I know they are the same. Looking at (b), we could compute ...

  \left(\dfrac{-x-7}{y}\right)-\left(\dfrac{x+7}{-y}\right)=\dfrac{-y(-x-7)-y(x+7)}{-y^2}\\\\=\dfrac{xy+7y-xy-7y}{-y^2}=\dfrac{0}{-y^2}=0

Yet another way to check is to substitute numbers for the variables. It is a good idea to use (at least) one more set of numbers than there are variables, just to make sure you didn't accidentally find a solution where the expressions happen to be equal. We can use (x, y) = (1, 2), (2, 3), and (3, 5) for example.

The given expression evaluates to (-1-7)/2 = -4, (-2-7)/3 = -3, and (-3-7)/5 = -2.

(a) evaluates to -(1+7)/2 = -4, -(2+7)/3 = -3, -(3+7)/5 = -2, same as given

(b) evaluates to (1+7)/-2 = -4, (2+7)/-3 = -3, (3+7)/-5 = -2, same as given

(c) evaluates to (-1-7)/-2 = 4, different from given

Find the equation that going through these points.<br><br>urgent!! will give the brainliest​
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The correct answer is y = -3x + 1.

Step-by-step Explanation:

First, you need to use the point slope formula to determine the slope. This is determined by the formula of the second y-coordinate (the y-coordinate in the second ordered pair) minus the first y-coordinate (the y-coordinate in the first ordered pair).

When subtracting the two values, you receive 7 - -5. You would use the KCC (keep, change, change) rule and keep positive 7, change the minus to addition, and turn negative 5 into positive 5. This gives you a value of 12.

Then, you use the same formula layout for the x-coordinates. Take the x-coordinate in the second ordered pair and subtract the x-coordinate in the first ordered pair to get -2 - 2 = -4.

Finally, to determine the slope, divide 12 and -4 to get -3.

Then, to get the y-intercept placed at the end, you will need to substitute the coordinate values from one of the ordered pairs into the equation y = -3x + b. I chose to use the first ordered pair, so:

-5 = -3(2) + b (Multiply the slope by x to earn the new value)

-5 = -6 + b (Add the -6 to the -5 to isolate the b)

1 = b (b = 1) (Learn that b = 1)

Your final equation will be y = -3x + 1.
