Answer:
y = - 5x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing to do (always) is pay attention to x =0. That at least gives you a partial answer. y = y' - 1. when you put 0 in for whatever y' is you get 0. What about the other numbers? How did they come about.
We have another clue. Whenever you put in a positive number for x, you get a negative answer for y. That's interesting. So y' has a minus sign associated with it.
y = -ax - 1 Make a>0 so there is only 1 minus sign. x cannot have an even power, because an even power would make everything positive except the -1.
So we'll start with y= - ax - 1 We'll also make the assumption that a = 1
y = - x - 1 That won't work. a >1 otherwise x = 2 won't give - 11
y = -ax - 1
let x = 2
let y = - 11 Solve for a
y = - ax - 1
- 11 = -a*-2 - 1 add 1 to both sides
-11 + 1 = - a(-2) - 1 + 1
- 10 = -2a Divide by - 2
- 10/-2 = -2a/-2
a = 5
Answer: y = - 5x - 1
Answer: 240 people get the news from social media
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the number of people who get their news from social media to the number of people who their news elsewhere is 3:7
Total ratio is the sum of the proportion of those that get their news from social media and those that got their news elsewhere.
It becomes 3+7 = 10
Total number of people in the town is 800
To determine the number of people that got their news from social media, we will divide the proportion of those that get their news from social media by the total ratio and multiply by the total number of people in the town. It becomes
3/10 × 800 = 240
Step-by-step explanation:
When deciding where to put an ordered pair on a graph its important to understand how ordered pairs work.
An ordered pair is split up into to pieces
(x,y) or number example (3,5)
When graphing the x coordinate will fall on your horizontal line or the line that looks like the horizon.
When graphing the y coordinate it will fall on your vertical line or the line that goes right up into the sky like a rocket.
To graph (3,5)
Go to the right 3 and up 5
Sometimes helps to use both fingers to keep your spot. Slide both fingers until they collide and that's where you would plot your point!
Hope this helps if you have an questions just comment and ill try to explain further.
