Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. the points are (8, 5) and (–12, –9). he writes the equation
7x – 10y = 3. is this a good model? explain your reasoning.

Thus, 7x + 10y = 3 is not a good model because the given point will not pass through the given straight line.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The two points (8,5) and (-12,-9) lies on a straight line.

We can find the equation of this straight line with the help of two point form equation of line. It says:

Putting

we have:

This the equation of straight line passing through the given points.

Thus, 7x + 10y = 3 is not a good model because the given point will not pass through the given straight line.    

the answer would be 150 books

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 300 by 2 you will get 150

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
