write each of the choices out in numbers first.

ttp · Answer

Okay  A. 7- 2y= 2x -1

b. 2y - 28 = -4x +12

c. -3y =6x + 24

d. 10y= -5x + 100

solomonzelman · Answer

I would translate each into slope intercept formula, it looks like
$$y=mx+b$$

Agree

solomonzelman · Answer

you have a point$$(-12,16)$$I'll show on choice A, you do the rest.
Plug it in.
-12 for x, and 16 for y.
$$y= x -4$$$$16= -12 -4,-->16≠-16$$
So A can't be the answer, do the rest of the choices like me, OK?
