Simplify the expression:
7 - 5x - (3 + 5x)
Operate the parentheses. Each term changes its signs because the minus sign represents a -1:
7 - 5x - (3 + 5x) = 7 - 5x - 3 - 5x
Collect like terms:
7 - 5x - (3 + 5x) = 7 - 3 -5x - 5x
Simplify:
7 - 5x - (3 + 5x) = 4 - 10x
Answer: 4 - 10x
Answer:
The correlation in this problem is that the graph is increasing.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, a ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, - 4 )
m =
= 
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
2x - 3y = 6 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
- 3y = - 2x + 6 ( divide through by - 3 )
y =
x - 2 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 
Parallel lines have equal slopes , then
=
, so
- 4 - a = 2 ( add 4 to both sides )
-a = 6 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
a = - 6 → A
