A line that passes through the points (-2,-7) and (1,5)

y= 4x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start off by figuring out the slope

we do that through the following equation

which means our equation so far looks like this

y=4x+b

we just need to solve for b from here

we can do this by plugging in a coordinate set

-7=4(-2)+b

solve for b

-7= -8+b

b=1

Which means that our equation is

y= 4x+1

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
