Answer:

y = -5/3 - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write this in the form y = mx + b.  We need to find the m (slope) and the b (y-intercept) ,  Whew, they already gave us the slope, so we are have way there.  I will plug in the x and y that we are given from the point (-6, 8) to solve for b.

y = mx + b

8 = -5/3(-6) + b  Multiply the fraction by -6

8 = 30/3 + b  I can make 6 a fraction by writing it 6/1 and then just multiply straight across.  A negative times a negative is a positive.

8 = 10 + b   30/3 is equal to 10.  Now subtract 10 from both sides to get b

-8 = b

I can now write the equations since I now know m and b.

y = -5/3 + (-8) which is the same as y = -5/3 - 8.  Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive.

What is D and R? Please answer I need help.
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

  31. D: {8, 4, 0, -4}; R: {2, -1}; yes

  32. D: {-1, 2, 7}; R: {-4, -3, -2, 0}; no

  33. D: {-4, -3, -1, 2, 3, 5}; R: {-3, -2, 0, 3, 5}; yes

  34. D: (-∞, ∞); R: (-∞, 4]; yes

  35. D: [0, 5]; R: [-2, 3]; no

Step-by-step explanation:

In this context, D means "domain" and R means "range." The domain of a function is the list of input values for which the function is defined. For ordered pairs, it is the first number of the pair. For an x-y table, it is the list of x-values. For a graph, it is the possible values of x.

A relation is a <em>function</em> only if there are no repeated values in the domain (2 or more outputs for the same input.)

The range of a function is the list of output values produced by the function. For ordered pairs, it is the second number of the pair. For an x-y table, it is the list of y-values. For a graph, it is the possible values of y.

__

31. D: {8, 4, 0, -4}

    R: {2, -1}

Function: yes

Domain and range values don't need to be repeated. Often, they're listed in order from lowest to highest. Here, we have listed them in order of occurrence in the function definition.

__

32. D: {-1, 2, 7}

      R: {-4, -3, -2, 0}

Function: no

__

33. D: {-4, -3, -1, 2, 3, 5}

     R: {-3, -2, 0, 3, 5}

Function: yes

__

34. D: (-∞, ∞)

     R: (-∞, 4]

Function: yes

__

35. D: [0, 5]

     R: [-2, 3]

Function: no . . . . . . there are 2 y-values for most x-values
