What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3, -1) and has a slope of 2/5? Put your answer in slope-intercept form.

Zanzabum

Hi there!

The general formula of A line in slope-intercept form is the following:
$y = mx + n$

In this formula m represents the slope of the line. Therefore, we can conclude that m = 2/5.
$y = \frac{2}{5} x + n$

We also know that the line passes through the point (-3, -1) and we can therefore substitute this coordinate into the formula of the line.
x = -3 and y = -1

$- 1 = \frac{2}{5} \times - 3 + n$

Multiply first.
$- 1 = - 1\frac{1}{5} + n$

And finally add 1 1/5 to both sides of the equation.
$\frac{1}{5} = n$

We can now switch sides.
$n = \frac{1}{5}$

Now we've found our value of n, which we can substitute into the formula of our line. Hence, in slope-intercept form, we find the following:
$y = \frac{2}{5} x + \frac{1}{5}$

Given a table of values of a quadratic function, which of the following do you absolutely need in order to find its equation? *

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The general form of a quadratic function is --> y = ax2 + bx + c

Since (0, -2) exists for the function, we can plug in those values:

-2 = a(0)2 + b(0) + c

-2 = 0 + 0 + c

-2 = c

So now our function so far is --> y = ax2 + bx - 2

We have two pairs of coordinates left: (-1, -8) and (3, -8).

First, plug in the first pair and simplify as much as you can:

-8 = a(-1)2 + b(-1) - 2

-8 = a - b - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

-6 = a - b (stop here because we can't go further)

Second, plug in the second pair and simplify as much as you can:

-8 = a(3)2 + b(3) - 2

-8 = 9a + 3b - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

-6 = 9a + 3b (stop here because we can't go further)

Now we have these two equations left:

a - b = -6

9a + 3b = -6

Now we solve for a and b using systems of equations, using one of three ways:

substitution

elimination

graphing (not my favorite, but it is doable)

Using substitution:

a - b = -6 can be rewritten as a = b - 6

plug into the second equation and solve for b

9(b - 6) + 3b = -6 (distribute the 9)

9b - 54 + 3b = -6 (combine all of the b's)

12b - 54 = -6 (add 54 to both sides)

12b = 48 (divide by 12 on both sides to isolate b)

b = 4

plug b into one of the original two equations

a - 4 = -6 (add 4 to both sides)

a = -2

The quadratic equation for this table is y = -2x2 + 4b - 2

The function f(x) = x2 + 22x + 58 is translated 4 units to the right and 16 units up. What is the vertex form of the new functio

kap26 [50]

Answer:

The new function is (x + 7)² - 47 ⇒ the 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets put the function f(x) in the vertex form at first and then make

the translation

∵ The general form of the quadratic function is

f(x) = ax² + bx + c

∵ The x-coordinate of the vertex of the function is -b/2a

∵ The y-coordinate of the vertex of the function is f(-b/2a)

- Lets find a , b from the function two find the vertex point

∵ f(x) = x² + 22x + 58

∴ a = 1 , b = 22 , c = 58

∵ x-coordinate of the vertex = -b/2a

∴ x-coordinate of the vertex = -22/2(1) = -11

∵ y-coordinate of the vertex = f(-11)

∴ f(-11) = (-11)² + 22(-11) + 58 = 121 - 242 + 58 = -63

∴ The vertex point is (-11 , -63)

- The vertex form of the quadratic function is f(x) = (x - h)² + k , where

(h , k) are the coordinates of the vertex point

∵ The vertex point is (-11 , -63)

∴ h = -11 , k = -63

∴ f(x) = (x - -11)² + -63

∴ f(x) = (x + 11)² - 63

* lets revise the rules of the translation

- If the function f(x) translated horizontally to the right

by m units, then the new function g(x) = f(x - m)

- If the function f(x) translated horizontally to the left

by m units, then the new function g(x) = f(x + m)

- If the function f(x) translated vertically up

by n units, then the new function g(x) = f(x) + n

- If the function f(x) translated vertically down

by n units, then the new function g(x) = f(x) – n

∵ f(x) will translate 4 units to the right

∴ m = 4

∵ f(x) ⇒ f(x - m)

∴ (x + 11)² ⇒ (x + 11 - 4)² = (x + 7)²

∵f(x) will translate 16 units up

∴ -63 will add by 16

∴ n = 16

∴ f(x) ⇒ f(x) + n

∵ -63 + 16 = -47

∴ The new function is (x + 7)² - 47
