Answer:
(-5, -7) and the x-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
when looking for a point that is 7 points away, we are looking for a difference of 7 in either the x-value or the y-value.
[remember: a point is written as (x, y) ]
We know that the x-value is -7, meaning that it is 7 units under the x-axis (meaning that it is 7 units away)
We know that our point, (2 , -7) has the same y-value as (-5, -7), so we are looking for a change in x. The difference (which is the change) between:
-5 and 2 is 7
(2 - (-5) = 2 + 5 = 7)
so, both the x-axis and the point (-5, -7) are 7 units away from (2, -7)
(the other point (-7, 7) is not near (2 , -7) at all--they have a larger difference on both the y-values, the x-values, and the length of if you made a diagonal line)

Answer:
l(n) = 80n + 520
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given in the question, there is a relationship between the number of new policy sold, n, and earning, I
For 3 new policies, he earned $760
For 5 new policies, he earned $920.
The rate of change of IIya's earning with respect to number of new policy sales is
m = $160 / 2 policies
m = $80 / policy
The linear equation for the relationship is;
l(n) = mn + b
I(n) is Ilya’s weekly income which is a function of the number of new policies, n
m is the rate of change of I with respect to n
n is the number of new policies,
b is the intial function which is IIya's income when n equals zero
Recall, Ilya earns a commission of $80 for each policy sold during the week. (m = $80 per policy)
l(n) = 80n + b
To complete the relationship l, we need to calculate the initial value b.
For 3 new policies, he earned $760,
760 = 80(3) + b
760 = 240 + b
b = 760 - 520
b = 520
The final equation is l(n) = 80n + 520
From the final equation, we can deduce that Ilya’s weekly salary is $520 and he earns an additional $80 commission for each new policy sold.
The graph shows the height of a kicked soccer ball f(x), in feet, depending on the distance from the kicker x, in feet
Part A: What do the x-intercepts of the graph represent?
The x intercept means value of x when h(x)=0. That is, the x-intercept signify the distance from kicker when height h(x) =0. The x intercept is (0,0) and (16,0).
So, when the kicker is at a distance of 0 feet or 16 feet, height h(x)=0 feet.
What does maximum value of the graph represent?
The maximum value of the graph signify maximum height the soccer ball can achieve. The maximum height the graph has is at (8,10). That is, when kicker is at a distance of 8 feet from the ball, the ball attains a maximum height of 10 feet.
What are the intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing, and what do they represent about distance and height?
The increasing interval is (-∞,8]. That is, the height of the ball increases when kicker is increasing as the distance increases from -∞ to 8. But, the height keeps on decreasing from 8 to ∞. As, x, distance increases from 8, the height decreases, Hence, decreasing interval [8,∞)
Part B: What is an approximate average rate of change of the graph from x=8 to x=13, and what does this rate represent?
average rate of change=
where x2=13 and x1=8. That is, the interval in which we are looking for average rate of change
f(x2)=f(13)=5
f(x1)=f(8)=10
average rate of change =
=
=-1
average rate of change =-1.
This rate signify that height decreases by 1 feet as distance of the skipper increases by 1 feet (when distance, x is between 8 and 13)
