Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting a number means adding the opposite.

The opposite of a number is the number you obtain by just changing the sign.

The opposite of 5 is -5. The opposite of 100 is -100. The opposite of -4.5 is 4.5. The opposite of 0 is 0. Zero is the only number that is equal to its opposite.

You need to subtract -45, so add the opposite of -45 which is 45.

30 - (-45) = 30 + 45 = 75

Create a set of coordinates to model a relation that is a linear function.

STALIN [3.7K]

I will create a set of arbitrary constants (x1,y1) (x2,y2)

slope = y2-y1/x2-x1

y = (y2-y1/x2-x1)x + b

y2 = (y2-y1/x2-x1)x2 + b

b = y2 - (y2-y1/x2-x1)x2

y = (y2-y1/x2-x1)x + [y2 - (y2-y1/x2-x1)]

Choose any points and just
Plug the values and you have a linear function.

NOT SURE IF THAT'S WHAT THE QUESTION WANTS.
