betsey is 11 years older than waldo. betsey's age is 15 years less than three times waldo's age. the system below models the relationship between betsey's age (b) and waldo's age (w):
b = w + 11
b = 3w − 15
which of the following methods is correct to find betsey's and waldo's age?
solve w + 11 = 3w − 15 to find the value of w.
solve b + 11 = 3b − 15 to find the value of b.
write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the x-axis.
write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the y-axis.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
