To determine which graph represents the solution for the equation \(-52x - 1 = 4x + 2\), we first need to solve the equation for \(x\).

  1. First, combine like terms: \(-52x - 4x = 2 + 1\)

    This simplifies to: \(-56x = 3\)

  2. Now, divide both sides by \(-56\): \[ x = \frac{3}{-56} = -\frac{3}{56} \]

Now that we have the solution \(x = -\frac{3}{56}\), we can look for a graph that shows this value.

In a standard Cartesian plane, we would see a vertical line at \(x = -\frac{3}{56}\).

If you have specific graphs to choose from, look for the graph that intersects the x-axis at approximately \(-0.05357\) (since \(-\frac{3}{56} \approx -0.05357\)).

If you can provide me with descriptions of the graphs or any image, I can help you identify which one correctly represents the solution.
