Evaluate the expression below when x = 4, y = 5

3(y-x) + 4y

23

Step-by-step explanation:

Brackets go first, 5 (y) - 4 (x) = 1. Now, 3 x 1 = 3, you do this because of the 3 next to the brackets. Now add them together.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is easy to see that (-2, 0) and (0, -4) are points on the line.

gradient = (difference of y-coordinates)/(difference of x-coordinates) = (0-(-4))/(-2-0) = 4/(-2) =  -2
