Answer:
0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the graph given ;
The vertical distance ; y - axis :
(y2 - y1) ; y2 = 2 ; y1 = 1
y2 - y1 = 2 - 1 = 1
The horizontal distance ; the x - axis :
(x2 - x1) ; x2 = 4 ; x1 = 2
x2 - x1 = 4 - 2 = 2
The slope ; the rate of change :
Change in y / change in x
The rate of change ;
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = 1 / 2
Answer:
7x + 6 = - 48
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x +
= - 6
Multiply through by 8 ( the LCM of 8 and 4 ) to clear the fractions
7x + 6 = - 48 ← same equation without fractions
