Ernie calculated the slope between two pairs of points. he found that the slope between ( ( -1, 4) 1 , 4 ) and (0, 0) ( 0 , 0 ) is -4 4 . he also found that the slope between (2, 7) ( 2 , 7 ) and (3, 3) ( 3 , 3 ) is -4 4 . ernie concluded that all of these points are on the same line. use the drop-down menus to complete the statements about ernie's conclusion.

i think 1: 2

step-by-step explanation:

equal to

step-by-step explanation:

they are simplified

step-by-step explanation:

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

4

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

1

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
