The value of <u>x</u> that the given point of the function is 11.

<h3>Linear Function</h3>

An equation can be represented by a linear function. The standard form for the linear equation is: y= ax+b , for example, y=5x+3. Where:

a= the slope

b= the constant term that represents the y-intercept.

For the previous example: a=5 and b=3.

The question gives a point (x , -3) of a function f(x)= -x+8. Therefore, you can write

-3=-x+8

x=8+3

x=11

Thus, the x-coordinate is equal to 11.

7x - 20 = 2x - 3(3x + 2)

kirill [66]

Answer:

7x-20=2x-3(3x+2)

We move all terms to the left:

7x-20-(2x-3(3x+2))=0

We calculate terms in parentheses: -(2x-3(3x+2)), so:

2x-3(3x+2)

We multiply parentheses

2x-9x-6

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-7x-6

Back to the equation:

-(-7x-6)

We get rid of parentheses

7x+7x+6-20=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

14x-14=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

14x=14

x=14/14

x=1

Solve for b. -11b+7 = 40−11b+7=40

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

This equation is false

Step-by-step explanation:

Well,

-11b + 7 = 4 - 11b + 7 = 40

combine like terms

-11b + 7 = -11b + 3 = 40

Communicative property

-3 to both sides

-11b + 4 = -11b = 40

-4 to both sides

-11b = -11b = 36

+11b to both sides

0 = 36

0 is not equal to 36 meaning that this equation is false.

<em>the equation given is false.</em>

Unit 3 homework 6 Gina Wilson

Sonja [21]

Answer:

5) The equation of the straight line is 2 x - y + 1 =0

6) The equation of the straight line is x + y -5 =0

7) The equation of the straight line is 5 x + 6 y - 24 =0

8) The equation of the straight line is x - 4 y -4 =0

9) The equation of the parallel line is 3x + y -19 =0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the straight line is

$y - y_{1} = m ( x - x_{1} )$

Slope of the line

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

Given points are (1,3) , ( -3,-5)

$m = \frac{-5-3 }{-3-1 } = \frac{-8}{-4} = 2$

The equation of the straight line is

$y - y_{1} = m ( x - x_{1} )$

$y - 3 = 2 ( x - 1 )$

y = 2x - 2 +3

2 x - y + 1 =0

The equation of the straight line is 2 x - y + 1 =0

The equation of the straight line is

$y - y_{1} = m ( x - x_{1} )$

Slope of the line

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

Given points are (1,4) , ( 6,-1)

$m = \frac{-1-(4) }{6-1 } = \frac{-5}{5} = -1$

The equation of the straight line is

$y - y_{1} = m ( x - x_{1} )$

$y - 1 = -1 ( x - 4 )$

y - 1 = - x +4

The equation of the straight line is x + y -5 =0

The equation of the straight line is

$y - y_{1} = m ( x - x_{1} )$

Slope of the line

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

Given points are (-12 , 14) , ( 6,-1)

$m = \frac{-1-(14) }{6+12 } = \frac{-15}{18} = \frac{-5}{6}$

$y - 14 = \frac{-5}{6} ( x - (-12) )$

6( y - 14 ) = - 5 ( x +12 )

6 y - 84 = - 5x -60

5 x + 6 y -84 + 60 =0

5 x + 6 y - 24 =0

The equation of the straight line is

$y - y_{1} = m ( x - x_{1} )$

Slope of the line

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

Given points are (-4 , -2) , ( 4 , 0)

$m = \frac{0+2}{4 +4} = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}$

$y - (-2) =\frac{1}{4} ( x - (-4) )$

4 ( y + 2) = x + 4

x - 4 y -4 =0

The equation of the line y = 3x + 6 is parallel to the line

3x + y + k =0 is passes through the point ( 4,7 )

⇒ 3x + y + k =0

⇒ 12 + 7 + k =0

⇒ k = -19

The equation of the parallel line is 3x + y -19 =0
