For the equation
y - 4 = -1/3(x-7),
what are the coordinates for the point?

graph{y=4x+1 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the equation is linear/straight in the form

y = mx + c, you can determine the slope/gradient (m) and y-intercept (c).

m = 4

c = 1

To graph this equation, you'll need to find 2 points on the line and join them together. We know one of the points is (0, 1) as the y-intercept is 1.

You can find another point by substituting an arbitrary number into

x or y in the equation. In this example, I'll substitute 1 into x to find the y coordinate where the x coordinate is 1.

y = 4 (1) + 1

y = 4 + 1

y = 5

So, the second point would be (1, 5).

If you join the points (0, 1) and (1, 5) on a graph, this would be the line of the equation.

hope this helps!

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
