So, pretend this is your x-axis and y-axis:

                                   I

        I

   (-2,7) •  I

        I

        I       • (2, 5)

        I

        I

        I  

        I

 _________________I____________________

        I

        I

        I

TO GET FROM POINT (-2, 7) TO POINT (2, 5), WE MOVE DOWN 2 AND OVER 4, SO THE SLOPE IS -1/2. IF WE FOLLOW THAT SLOPE AND MOVE DOWN 1 AND OVER 2 FROM THE FIRST POINT OF  (-2, 7), WE WILL LAND ON A POINT LOCATED AT (0, 6), WHICH WOULD BE THE "Y-INTERCEPT". WE WERE JUST ABLE TO CALCULATE THE SLOPE OF THE LINE AND THEN USE THE SLOPE TO FIND THE INTERCEPT. SO, THE "SLOPE-INTERCEPT" FORM OF THE EQUATION FOR THIS LINE IS:

y = -1/2x + 6

TO RE-WRITE THIS IN STANDARD FORM, WE JUST WANT TO MOVE THE X VARIABLE OVER TO THE LEFT WITH THE Y VARIABLE, SO:

y = -1/2x + 6

+1/2x   + 1/2x

1/2x + y = 6 .... and that is your answer!

Enter the value, as a mixed number in simplest form, in the box. |2 1/3| = ?
Fittoniya [83]
Unclear of the question, but the value is already as a mixed fraction. The value of absolute value is just the distance from zero. So, |-4|=4 or |6|=6
|2 \frac{1}{3} |  =  2 \frac{1}{3}
