Answer:
C) 7
===========================================
Work Shown:
Use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Plug in the given slope we want m = -5/3 and also the coordinates of the points. Then isolate r
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
-5/3 = (2-r)/(r-4)
-5(r-4) = 3(2-r) .... cross multiplying
-5r+20 = 6-3r
-5r+20+5r = 6-3r+5r .... adding 5 to both sides
20 = 6+2r
20-6 = 6+2r-6 ....subtracting 6 from both sides
14 = 2r
2r = 14
2r/2 = 14/2 .... dividing both sides by 2
r = 7
The slope of the line through (4,7) and (7,2) should be -5/3, let's check that
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (2-7)/(7-4)
m = -5/3
The answer is confirmed
Answer:
x = -2, proven below.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 7 + 2(4x+1) = 3(x-1) - 4
3x + 7 + 8x + 2 = 3x - 3 - 4
9 + 11x = 3x - 7
16 + 11x = 3x
16 = - 8x
-2 = x
I’m pretty sure it’s b but idk 100% sorry if it’s wrong
X y
-2 -3
-1 -1
0 1
1 3
2 5
i can’t graph it, but i hope this helps
