Solve 5.4p+13.1=−2.6p+3.5 . Check your solution.

p= __

5.4p +13.1 = −2.6p+3.5 .

5.4p + 2.6p = 3.5 -13.1

8.0p = -9.6

p = -9.6 / 8

p = -1.2

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.

(-5,-28)
