Answer:

  a. see the attachment for the table (also reproduced below)

  b. slope = -3; see the attachment for a graph

Step-by-step explanation:

A table of values for the function can be filled a couple of ways. One way is to draw the graph of the equation, and read the point values from it. Another way is to solve for each of the variables, and use those equations to find the missing table values.

__

<h3>a.</h3>

Solving the equation for y, we get ...

  3x +y = 15

  y = -3x +15 . . . . . . subtract 3x; this is "point-slope form"

For the purpose of evaluating for different values of x, we can rearrange this a bit to ...

  y = 3(5 -x) . . . . factor out 3

The given table has x-values of 0, 2, 3, 6. The corresponding y-values are ...

  y = 3(5 -{0, 2, 3, 6}) = 3{5, 3, 2, -1} = {15, 9, 6, -3} . . . . for x={0, 2, 3, 6}

Solving the equation for x, we get ...

  y/3 = 5 -x . . . . . divide the above equation by 3

  x = 5 -(y/3) . . . . . add x-(y/3)

For y-values {0, 3, 8}, the corresponding x-values are ...

  x = 5 -{0, 3, 8}/3 = 5 -{0, 1, 8/3} = {5, 4, 7/3} . . . . for y={0, 3, 8}

Then our table of values is ...

  \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\cline{1-8}x&2&4&6&0&3&5&7/3\\y&9&3&-3&15&6&0&8\\\cline{1-8}\end{array}

__

<h3>b.</h3>

The points in the above table can be plotted, and the line drawn through them. Sometimes using the points that are farthest apart makes this easier: (0, 15) and (6, -3).

slope

When we solved for y, we had the equation in <em>slope-intercept form</em>. The slope is the x-coefficient in that equation:

  y = -3x +15   ⇒   slope = -3

What is the value of the expression 18-2×(4+3)
Vika [28.1K]
The value would be 4.

First, you have to do 4 + 3 because it's in parenteces. This equals 7
Secondly, you have to do 2 x 7, which is 14.
Last you have to do 18 - 14 which is 4.

How many leaves on a tree diagram are needed to represent all possible combinations tossing a coin and rolling a dice
dolphi86 [110]
The total number of outcomes of rolling a die      = 6
The total number of outcomes of  tossing a coin = 2

The total number of possible outcomes of executing both experiments is 6*2=12, which is also the number of leaves (end of the branch of a tree) on a tree diagram.
