Clare estimates that her brother is 4 feet tall. When they get measured at the doctor's office, her brother's actual height is 4 feet, 2 inches.
2. What was the error, expressed in inches?

2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since his actual height was 4 feet and 2 inches, instead of the estimate of 4 feet, the difference was 2 inches.

This means the error in inches was also 2 inches, since the estimated height was 2 inches lower than the one at the doctor's office.

So, the error is 2 inches

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?
