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?

step-by-step explanation: s

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.
