Tammy accidentally wrote a check for more money than she had in her checking account. When she got her statement, she saw that her balance was -$72. If she deposits 1/3 of the money owed into her account, what will be her new balance?

-48

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide -72 by 3 to see how much she is depositing 72/3 = 24

then you take 24 from 72 and you get 48

she still owes $48

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?
