Have you learned slope yet? Pick two points from the graph and do x-y on the top and x-y on the bottom. That would give you your slope then you can graph it. For example (-2,-1) (-1,1)
-2-(-1)
-1-1
Then that would give you -1/-2 so technically -1/2<< this is what you graph
Answer: The simplified express is 10m + 20.5 where m represents the total number of months.
To start we can write the following two expressions for her expenses.
8.5 + 62.5m and 12 + 3.75m
Then, adding the two expressions together will give us a combined expression of: 10m + 20.5
The first step for solving this expression is to distribute

through the first set of parenthesis.

× (x - 9)
Now use the FOIL method to multiply each term in the first parenthesis by each term in the second parenthesis. This will look like the following:

x × x -

x × 9 -

x -

× (-9)
Remember that multiplying two negatives together equals a positive,, so the expression changes to:

x × x -

x × 9 -

x +

× 9
Calculate the product of all of the sets of multiplication to make the expression become:

x² -

x -

x +

Lastly,, calculate the difference of -

x -

x to find your final answer.

x² -

x +
