for x

anonymous · Answer

how @Zarkon

zarkon · Answer

with basic algebra

anonymous · Answer

okay i got -3  how do i get the other set ? @zarkon

anonymous · Answer

okay i got -3 for one is that correct ?

anonymous · Answer

a positive 7

anonymous · Answer

can i ask for help in another question ?
@hero

anonymous · Answer

y varies inversely as twice x. When x = 4, y = 10. Find y when x = 8

anonymous · Answer

y = 5

anonymous · Answer

what about this question What is the equation of a vertical line passing through the point (–4, 7)?

anonymous · Answer

god @hero i love you so much for helping me

anonymous · Answer

-4 ?

anonymous · Answer

To which graph does the point (–2, –1) belong? thank you just a  couple more its juts cus i only understand you

anonymous · Answer

okay thank you and this one lol im so sorry love i just need the help
What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (–1, 3) and (1, 7)?

anonymous · Answer

is it  y – 3 = 4(x + 1)

hero · Answer

Why would that be it? If you simplify that you get

y = 4x + 7, which is not the proper form. I guess you didn't understand the steps I provided, which is sad because I explained every step.

anonymous · Answer

so its y – 7 = 4(x – 1)

anonymous · Answer

i did understand i must have missed something

anonymous · Answer

i already got the answer i need help on a new question

anonymous · Answer

y varies jointly with p and q. When p = 3 and q = 5, y = 60. Find y when p = 2 and q = 6.

anonymous · Answer

@Hero you their

anonymous · Answer

okay i 3=2(-1) = 5
which is 3=-2=5 which is 3
