The interpretation of the function is that the difference y between the car's actual speed x and the displayed speed is 8

<h3>How to describe the translation. </h3>

The function is given as:

y = |x - 8|

The above function is an absolute function.

And the parent function of an absolute function is

y = |x|

When a function is translated right by h units, the new function is y = |x - h|

This means that the translation is a translation to the right by 8 units

See attachment for the graph the function.

<h3>Interpret the function and the translation in terms of the context of the situation.</h3>

The function is given as:

y = |x - 8|

This represents the difference y between the car's actual speed x and the displayed speed.

So, the interpretation of the function is that the difference y between the car's actual speed x and the displayed speed is 8

Find the x intercept and the y intercept of the graph of the equation <br> 2x+4y=8
maksim [4K]

Answer:

x-intercept: 4

y-intercept: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

finding the x-intercept:

first, substitute y = 0.

2x + 4 x 0 = 8

then, remove the 0.

2x + 0 = 8

then, divide both sides. 2x = 8

so, x = 4.

finding the y-intercept:

first, substitute x = 0.

then, solve.

2 x 0 + 4y = 8

so, y = 2.

Suppose that y varies directly with x, and y=15 when x=24. Write a direct variation equation that relates x and y. Find y when x
Lapatulllka [165]

Just set up a proportion with the original numbers and then the numbers you want to find like so: (x1/y1)=(x2/y2) and since you want to find the second y value, just leave y as a variable like so: (15/24)=(3/y) after this just cross multiply and get the answer: 15y=72.....y=4.8

Lines a and b are perpendicular. The equation of line a is y=1/3x+3. What is the equation of line b
kykrilka [37]
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals to each other, that is, if one slope is a/b, the other is -b/a
in this case, the given slope is 1/3, so the other line's slope is -3/1, which is -3
from the graph we see that the y intercept of line b is -4, so the equation of line b is: y=-3x-4
