Answer:

y=\frac{3}{4}x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

So when you express a linear function in slope-intercept form it's given in the form of y=mx+b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. This is because as x increases by 1, the y-value will increase by m (because multiplication), and since the slope is defined as rise/run, the rise will be m, and run will be 1, giving you a slope of m/1 or m. The reason b is the y-intercept, is because whenever the linear function crosses the y-axis, the x-value will always be 0. Meaning that mx will be 0 because m * 0 will equal 0... and that leaves b by it self, so b will determine the y-intercept.

So if you look at the graph, the linear function crosses the y-axis as (0, 2) so the value of b will be 2. This gives you the equation y=mx+2.

Now to calculate the slope, we can take any two points and see how much the rise was and how much the run was. It can also be more formally defined in the equation: y=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. So let's take the points (0, 2) and (8, 8). As you can see the x-value increases by 8 or "ran" by 8, and the y-value increased by 6. So the rise over run in this case is 6/8 which can simplified as 3/4. That is the slope. This gives you the complete equation of: y=\frac{3}{4}x+2

Patel is solving 8x2 + 16x + 3 = 0. Which steps could he use to solve the quadratic equation? Select three options. 8(x2 + 2x +
AnnyKZ [126]

The options Patel has to solve the quadratic equation 8x² + 16x + 3 = 0 is x = –1 Plus or minus StartRoot StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction EndRoot.

<h3>Quadratic equation</h3>

8x² + 16x + 3 = 0

8x² + 16x = -3

8(x² + 2x) = -3

  • Using completing the square

8(x² + 2x + 1) = -3 + 8

  • factorization

8(x² + 1) = 5

(x² + 1) = 5/8

  • Taking the square root of both sides

(x + 1) = ± √5/8

x = -1 ± √5/8

Therefore,

x = –1 Plus or minus StartRoot StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction EndRoot
