The table doesn't represent linear function

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify if the table represent a linear function or not.

<u>Linear Function </u>

A linear function is defined as a straight line with an x and y intercept and the same slope through the whole line.

Finding the slope of elements in the table:

x y

0 0

1 1

2 8

3 27

Slope= y/x

Slope = 0/0=0

slope = 1/1 = 1

slope = 8/2 = 2

slope = 27/3 = 9

The function represented is: y=x^3

Since the slope of points x and y in the table is not same, and its graph is not linear.

So, the table doesn't represent linear function

Im confused on this one !

Alex787 [66]

I believe that it would be the first one. They are looking for the distance from the y-axis, so the x value doesnt matter. 6 is 6 units away from the y-axis, and -6 is also 6 units away from the y-axis. Hope I helped!

A linear function has an x-intercept of 12 and a slope of 3/8. How does this

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

O It has the same slope and a different y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = 3/8

b = 12

y = (3/8)x + 12

---

Data in the table: slope is the rise (y) over the run (x) between two points (assuming the data represent a linear line).

Change in x and y between two points. I'll choose (-2/3,-3/4) and (1/3,-3/8).

Change in y: (-3/8 - (-3/4)) = (-3/8 - (-6/8)) = 3/8

Change in x: (1/3 - (-2/3)) = (1/3+2/3) = 3/3 = 1

Slope = (Change in y)/(Change in x) = (3/8)/1 = 3/8

The slope of the equation is the same as the data in the table.

Now let's determine if the y-intercept is also the same (12). The equation for the data table is y = (2/3)x + b, and we want to find b. Enter any of the data points for x and y and then solve for b. I'll use (-2/3, -3/4)

y = (3/8)x + b

Use (-2/3, -3/4)

-3/4 =- (3/8)(-2/3) + b

-3/4 = (-6/24) + b

b = -(3/4) + (6/24)

b = -(9/12) + (3/12)

b = -(6/12)

b = -(1/2)

The equation of the line formed by the data table is y = (3/8)x -(1/2)

Therefore, It has the same slope and a different y-intercept.

Find the area of each figure. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

220ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

In red: 12ft - 10ft = 2ft and there 2 sides so 2ft / 2 = 1ft

In blue: 18ft - 12ft = 6ft

The missing area in dark blue: 6ft x 1ft = 6 / 2 = 3

total rectangle area: 12ft x 18ft = 216

216 - (3 + 3) = 216 - 6 = 200 subtract 6, we added that area in
