What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1, -5) and has a
slope of -12

Thus, the equation of a line is: y = -12x-17

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the point-slope form

where m is the slope, and (x₁, y₁) is the point

substituting the values m = -12 and the point (-1, -5)

y-(-5) = -12(x-(-1))

y+5 = -12 (x+1)

y+5 = -12x-12

y = -12x-12-5

y = -12x-17

Thus, the equation of line is: y = -12x-17

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1

answer: -0.5 would be the most likley outcome
