Having trouble with this one can someone teach me how to find the slope in this question. Try to help me learn it aswell. Its in

ASHA 777 [7]

Hi there! The answer is -2.

We can find the slope of a formula by using the following formula:

$slope = \frac{change \: of \: y}{change \: of \: x} =\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$
x2 and y2 don't mean squared, but the x and y coordinate of our second point.

First we need to find two points on the line. Ijn this particular case we have (-3, 3) and (1, -5). Now we can fill in the formula.

$slope = \frac{ - 5 - 3}{1 - - 3} = \frac{ - 8}{4} = - 2$

Therefore, the third answer is correct.
~ Hope this helps you!

If f(x)=3x2−4x+6 find f(−3)

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Replace everything in the equation that has a x to -3:

f(-3)=3(-3)^2-4(-3)+6

Square the -3:

f(-3)=3(9)-4(-3)+6

Multiply/Distribute

f(-3)=27+12+6

Add:

f(-3)=45

What is the average rate of change of the function f(x)=5(2)^x from x = 1 to x = 5?

Mila [183]

Average rate of change refers to the slope of a function/equation.
To solve this, plug in for both x values and calculate the average, or mean.

x = 1
f(1) = 5(2)^1
= 5(2)
= 10

x = 5
f(5) = 5(2)^5
= 5(32)
= 160

Now, you calculate the average:
10 + 160 = 170
Divide by 2 and you get 85.

The balance after the grace period is $25,000. A payment of $5,000 is made on the 10th day. A payment of $5,000 is made on the 2

MariettaO [177]

The average daily balance after 20 days is; $1750

<h3>Average Balance</h3>

The initial balance after grace period is; $25,000

Afterwards, A payment of $5,000 each is made on the 10th and 20th day.

Hence, the total balance after 20 days is;

= $25,000 + $5000 + $5000

= $35,000.

The average daily balance is therefore the quotient of $35,000 and 20 days

The average daily balance = $35,000/20

Average daily balance = $1750
