Since the slope is -2 we know that m=-2. Now use the standard form of y=mx+b and plug in the coordinates (-8,2). We know y=2, x=-8, and m=-2. Therefore we get 2=-2(-8)+b. Now solve for b and you get -14. Therefore, the equation is y=-2x-14.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
x = 4.4
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to assume you want to solve for x so here we go.
You need to work backwards for this equation, and whatever you do to the LHS, you do to the RHS.
First, you need to remove the minus 3, which means that on both sides, you add 3. Adding three on the LHS makes the -3 disappear, and adding 3 on the RHS makes the 19 go to a 22.
Your equation is now 5x=22.
Since 5x means 5 × x, to get rid of it, you need to divide 5x by 5. Doing it to the LHS will make the five disappear, and doing it to the RHS will make it go to 22 ÷ 5 which equals 4.4
Therefore, x = 4.4
12a)
5x + 45 + 3x - 25 = 180
8x + 20 = 180
8x = 160
x = 20
12b)
2x - 5 = 2(20) - 5 = 40 - 5 = 35
3x - 25 = 3(20) - 25 = 60 - 25 = 35
y = 180 - (35+35)
y = 180 - 70
y = 110
