Aline passes through the point (-8,7) and has a
slope of negative 5/2 write it in point-slope form

y = (-5/2)x + 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point slope formula y = mx + b.

Replace m with -5/2, x with -8 and y with 7:

7 = (-5/2)(8) + b.  Find the y-intercept, b:

7 = -20 = b, or b = 27

The equation of this line is y = (-5/2)x + 27.

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
