A newspaper article reports the results of an election between two candidates. The article says that Smith received 10% of the votes and that Murphy received 1 5 of the votes. A reader writes in to complain that the article cannot be accurate. What reason might the reader have to say this? If all the votes were for Smith or Murphy, then 10% plus ?% should equal ?%, but actually equals ?%.

step-by-step explanation:

107 units

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?
