Hey there! :)

3y + 2x = 12

To find the slope of this equation, we must turn this into slope-intercept form. Slope-intercept form is very simply : y = mx + b ; where m = slope, b = y-intercept.

Our first step should be to subtract 2x from both sides.

3y + 2x - 2x = 12 - 2x

Simplify.

3y = -2x + 12

Then, divide both sides by 3 so that we could get y by itself (which is what we call isolated in the math world).

3y ÷ 3 = (-2x + 12) ÷ 3

Simplify.

y = -2/3x + 4

So, our slope is -2/3!

HELP ME PLEASE True or false: z=−5 is a solution to the inequality −2|z−3|<−20.

Dovator [93]

your question: 

True or false: z=−5 is a solution to the inequality −2|z−3|<−20.

answer: 

-2|z-3|<-20

-------. -----

-2 -2

|z-3|<10

equation 1: equation 2:

z-3<10. z-3>-10

z<13 z>-13

So false, z=-5 is not a solution to the inequality.

hope this helps, have a great day! :)

What are the period and amplitude of the function?

lianna [129]

ANSWER

Period: 2π , amplitude: 4

EXPLANATION

The graphed function is

$y = 4\cos(x)$

The amplitude of this function is

$|4| = 4$

The period is 2π because there is no phase shift hence the period is still equal to the parent function.

Period: 2π , amplitude: 4
