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

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Mrs. Cabrini has a total of 2 1/8 quarts of tomato sauce.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Mrs. Cabrini needs 2 quarts of tomato sauce to make a large batch of her spaghetti sauce. she has 1 1/4 quarts of her own, and she borrows 1/2 quart from the neighbor across the hall and 3/8 quart from the neighbor next door, to determine how many quarts does she have in all of her own must perform the following calculation:

1/4 = 0.25

1/2 = 0.5

3/8 = 0.375

0.25 + 0.5 + 0.375 = X

1.125 = X

1 + 1,125 = 2,125

Therefore, Mrs. Cabrini has a total of 2 1/8 quarts of tomato sauce.

Find limit as x approaches 1 for x-1/ x^2-3x+2
zysi [14]

I'm going to assume that you meant the following:

  (x-1)

---------------

x^2-3x+2


Factoring the denominator, we get:

  (x-1)

------------  

(x-1)(x-2)

Notice that we have x-1 in both the numerator and the denominator.  This factor cancels.  HOWEVER:  x can still not equal 1, which would lead to div. by zero.  With the factor x-1 cancelled, we have   1 / (x-2).  As x approaches 1 from either side, y approaches 1 / (1-2), or 1 / (-1), or -1.  Thus, the limit exists and is -1.

Look at the number line below.
VikaD [51]
Answer: Choice C)

We start at 0 and move 1.4 units to the right. Then we move another 2.3 units to the right to land on 3.7

Notice how 1.4 - (-2.3) = 1.4 + 2.3 = 3.7
