Answer:
6 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the fractions so that the denominators match.
, then 
, then 
Add up the fractions.
-3(x + 5) = -9
-3x + -15 = -9
-3x - 15 = -9
-3x - 15 + 15 = -9 + 15 (we added 15 to both sides of the equation because now, the 15 on the left side cancels out).
-3x = 6
-3x/-3 = 6/-3
X = -2
So, in conclusion, X is equal to -2.
Answer:
y=-1/7x + 12/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by finding the slope
m=(1-0)/(-5-2)
m=-1/7
next plug the slope and the point (-5,1) into point slope formula
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y1=1
x1= -5
m=-1/7
y- 1 = -1/7(x - -5)
y-1=-1/7(x+5)
Distribute -1/7 first
y- 1=-1/7x + 5/7
Add 1 on both sides, but since its a fraction add 7/7
y=-1/7x + (5/7+7/7)
y=-1/7x+12/7
