Hi there!

Use the following equation to solve:

Solve for the y-values of the equation at the given x values:
f(1) = 1² - 4(1) + 10 = 7
f(5) = 5² - 4(5) + 10 = 15
Plug the solved values into the equation:

Simplify:

Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
First by looking, you have a slope going upward to the right so it is a positive slope.
Two points on the line that seem to go directly through the grid at the intersection points are ( -60, -90) and ( 40, -50).
Slope is Rise (y axis) over the Run (x axis). The numbers above have x first and y second.
So the rise is the total distance between -90 and -50 which is 40.
The run is the total distance between 40 and -60 which is a total of 100.
It takes 40 units to get back to the 0 mark on the x axis and the another 60 units to get to the -60 point.
So you slop is 40/100. You can simplify this down to 4/10 or even further to give you 2/5.

Let f and s represent the weights of the first and second objects, respectively.
.. f - s = 200 . . . . . . . . the first is 200 lb heavier than the second
.. s = (1/3)f . . . . . . . . . . the second was 1/3 the weight of the first
In augmented matrix form, the equations can be written
.. f - s = 200
.. f - 3s = 0
The solution is
.. f = 300
.. s = 100
Their total weight is 400 lb, not enough to kill Mr. Boddy. The physics-loving professor is apparently innocent.
