During science lab, each student had to measure exactly 25.5 mL of water. Kimberly’s graduated cylinder contained 2.5 mL more than 25.5 mL. Carlos was short 2 mL and Tiana had 1.5 mL more. Using absolute value, explain which student was closest to the exact measurement.

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form

the bolded word " farsighted" could be replaced with visionary.

your correct answer is c. he organized a political resistance group based on islam.

im sorry for the poor quality answer.
