Which shows the proper use of the distributive property

-2 (6x - y) = -12x + 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the distributive property, you start by multiplying -2 and 6x which gets you -12x. You then multiply -2 and -y (in other words -y = -1y) so, -2* -y would get you 2 as a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive. So, adding them together would get your final -2 (6x - y) = -12x + 2y

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
