Answer:

y = -2x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is y = mx + b

1. Find the slope first.

--> (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = slope

--> (-12 - -6) / (11 - 8) = (-6) / (3) = -2

2. Then, find the y-intercept (b) by plugging one of the points

--> y = -2x + b

--> -6 = -2(8) + b

--> -6 = -16 + b

--> b = 10

3. Combine

--> y = -2x + 10

How long can the run be made?

defon

Answer:

$L=15\ m$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of rectangle is equal to

$P=2L+2W$

In this problem we have

$P=42\ m$

$W=6\ m$

substitute in the formula and solve for L

$42=2L+2(6)$

simplify

$21=L+(6)$

$L=21-6=15\ m$

Marą purchased a cell

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: $28.30✔️

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C = cost before tax

Cell phone costs = C + C·6% = $30

C(1 + 0.06) = $30

C = $30/1.06 = $28.30

Answer: $28.30✔️

<h3> Verify </h3>

Cell phone after tax = $28.30 + $28.30·6/100 = $28.30 + $1.70 = $30✔️

Which of the following accurately shows the range of the function defined below?

il63 [147K]

Answer: The answer is (b) (2, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation: We are given a function f(x) in the figure and we are to select out of the given options that accurately shows the range of the function defined.

$\textup{For }x < 0, \textup{we have}~f(x)=3.$

$\textup{For }0\leq x$

$\textup{For }x\geq 2,\textup{ we have }f(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}x+5\geq 5.$

Therefore, the range of the function f(x) will be greater then or equal to 2. So, the range will be [2, ∞).

Thus, the correct option is (b) (2, ∞).
