What is the solution of the equation 6x − 3 = -51?

Question

anonymous · Answer

A. -9
B. -8
C. 8
D. 9

anonymous · Answer

add 3 to both sides

6x= -48

divide by 6 on both sides

x = -8

anonymous · Answer

Solve the equation 2(3x + 7) = -22

anonymous · Answer

distribute that 2 in front of 3x +7

6x + 14 = -22

subtract 14 on both sides

6x = -36

divide by 6 on both sides

x = -6

What is the equation of a line passing through (-3, 7) and having a slope of -1/5?

anonymous · Answer

the standard form is:$$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)$$where m is your slope and y_1 and x_1 are your points

anonymous · Answer

A. y = -5x + 22
B. y = 5x + 22
C. y= 1/5x + 32/5
D. y= -1/5x + 32/5
E. y= -1/5x + 22

anonymous · Answer

just put in your points and slope into the formula i gave you

anonymous · Answer

Okay

whats the question?

anonymous · Answer

What is the equation of this line?

A. y= =1/3x - 3/4
B. y= -1/3x - 4 
C. y= 1/3x + 4
D.y = 3x – 4

anonymous · Answer

$$slope = \frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }$$

find the slope using the 2 points it gives you, then use the standard form formula again using the slope and whatever point you want

anonymous · Answer

Ok
