Answer:
x = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the equation, we first need to combine like terms:
Simplify further:
Divide by -12 on both sides to get:
To check the solution, plug x back into the original equation and check if we get the correct answer:
Thus, it checks out and our answer is correct.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First create an equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. To do this, find the rate of change or slope (m), and the y-intercept (b).
Using two pairs, (-7, -3) and (-8, -4),
m = 1
To find b, substitute m = 1, x = -7 and y = -3 into y = mx + b.
Thus:
-3 = (1)(-7) + b
-3 = -7 + b
-3 + 7 = b
4 = b
b = 4.
Replace y with f(x), m with 1 and b with 4 in y = mx + b.
The function would be:
