Step-by-step explanation:
4/5 is equivalent to 12/15
Using the slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) the slope is:
1.66666666
Let's solve the first inequality at first. So,
−2(x + 4) + 10 < x − 7
-2x- 8 + 10 < x - 7 By distribution property.
-2x + 2 < x - 7 Adding the like terms.
-2x < x - 7 - 2 Subtract 2 from each sides.
-2x < x - 9 By simplifying.
-2x - x < -9 Subtract x from each sides.
-3x < -9
Since we are dividing by negative 3. So, sign of inequality will get change.
So, x>3
Now the next inequality is,
−2x + 9 > 3(x + 8)
-2x + 9 > 3x + 24
-2x > 3x + 24 - 9
-2x > 3x + 15
-2x - 3x > 15
-5x >15

So, x <-3
Hence, the correct choice is x > 3 or x < −3.
Broken down into steps:
1. Find the slope of the line segment that connecs the points (0,-7) and (4,-15).
2. Start with the point-slope formula for the equation of a straight line:
y-b = m(x-a), where the given point is (a,b). Borrow the value of m that you calculated in (1), above, and insert it into this point-slope formula.
Finish up by subst. the x- and y-values in (-3,6) into this formula.
Done!
You could, of course, solve this result for y if you wished.
