A small town has two local high schools. High School A currently has 500 students and is projected to grow by 80 students each year. High School B
currently has 700 students and is projected to grow by 30 students each year.
Let A represent the number of students in High School A in t years, and let
B represent the number of students in High School B after t years. Write an
equation for each situation, in terms of t, and determine how many students
would be in each high school in the year they are projected to have the same
number of students.
A
B =

step-by-step explanation:

it's the only multiple of both and the least

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?
