Maria compared the slope of the function f(x)=(-6x-21) to the slope of the linear function that fits the values in the table bel

raketka [301]

Answer:

b. both functions have a negative slope

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x)=-6x-21$

This function is of the form $y=mx+b$ , where $m=-6$ is the slope and $b=-21$ is the y-intercept.

We can also determine the slope of the function in the table using any two points, say $(0,7)\:and\:(2,6)$ .

The slope formula is given by,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ .

If $(x_1,y_1)=(0,7)\:and\:(x_2,y_2)=(2,6)$ , then,

$m=\frac{6-7}{2-0}$

$m=-\frac{1}{2}$ .

We can see that both functions have a negative slope.

The correct answer is B.

Which equation best describes the same line as y - 6 = -4(x+1)

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

y - 6 = -4(x+1) is equivalent to equation C: y = -4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the given y - 6 = -4(x+1) for y and remove the parentheses shown:

y - 6 = -4(x+1) becomes

y = -4(x + 1) + 6, or

y = -4x - 4 + 6, or

y = -4x + 2 This is equivalent to equation C.
