4x+12=8 that’s because you would distribute what’s outside and multiply it by what’s inside. Basically, 4 times x= 4x and 4x3=12 giving you the equation 4x+12=8 once you’ve set the equation subtract 12 from 8 because you have to do the opposite in order to cancel out 12…so then you get 4x=-4 then you divide the 4 from 4x and leave the x. This makes you divide 4 with the other -4 which is -1 bc one negative divided by a positive is a negative this why your answer is /////>>>> -1

Find the equation in standard form of the line with slope

Serhud [2]

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ 7}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{7}{2}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-7=\cfrac{7}{2}(x-5)\implies y-7=\cfrac{7}{2}x-\cfrac{35}{2}
\\\\\\
y=\cfrac{7}{2}x-\cfrac{35}{2}+7\implies \stackrel{standard~form}{-\cfrac{7}{2}x+y=-\cfrac{21}{2}}$
