-6 x^{2} ÷ 12 - 2(-7)

a. -17
b. 35
c. -35
d. 11

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Using PEDMAS rule to solve it.

Now, simplifying:

We first open parenthesis which is (-7) = -7

=

Now, we evaluate the exponent which is

Next, we divide -36 by 12 to get -3

=

Next, we multiply -2 and -7 to get 14

=

Lastly, we add -3 and 14 to get 11

=

∴ Answer is 11

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form

16 would be your answer
