ram231 · Answer

you basically have to do the same thing as we did in the other problem. distribute the (1/4)(x-2) so it would be 1/4x - (1/4)x-2 what would that second set of numbers equal. when you distribute this numbers

abbycross167 · Answer

umm I don't know

ram231 · Answer

wait. I mean (1/4) multiplied by -2

abbycross167 · Answer

so -1/2?

ram231 · Answer

if you change the 1/4 into a decimal, it would be 0.25. like quarters right? Wouldn't it be easier to change the fraction into a decimal to figure out the answer faster?

abbycross167 · Answer

yes ma'am

ram231 · Answer

so what would be the answer to 0.25 multiplied by -2?

abbycross167 · Answer

so -0.5?

ram231 · Answer

yeah. so now the equation would be y+3=-0.5 how do you get the 3 to the other side?

abbycross167 · Answer

-0.5+3=2.5

ram231 · Answer

I would actually do y+3=-0.5... I would subtract the into get y=-0.5-3 
-3 would be the y intercept and -0.6 would be m in the equation mx+b=c2
I mean the x isn't there. but it still is kinda there.
