Answer:
We'll need 2 points so we'll choose (-6, 0) and (0, -3).
Let's calculate the slope (or 'm') using
Slope or m = (Y2 -Y1) ÷ (X2 -X1)
Slope ('m') = (-3 -0) / (0, - -6) = -3 / 6 = -1/2
Then we calculate the equation using:
(y - y1) = m • (x -x1)
(y - 0) = -1/2 * (x - -6)
y = -1/2 x -3

Answer:
Karen: 15; Dale: 9; Tom: 60
Step-by-step explanation:
"Karen and Dale and Tom sent a total of 84 messages during the weekend."
k + d + t = 84
"Dale sent six fewer messages than Karen"
d = k - 6
"Tom sent four times as many as Karen."
t = 4k
Substitute k - 6 for d and 4k for t in the first equation.
k + d + t = 84
k + k - 6 + 4k = 84
6k - 6 = 84
6k = 90
k = 15
d = k - 6 = 16 - 6 = 9
t = 4k = 4(15) = 60
Answer: Karen: 15; Dale: 9; Tom: 60
