Subtract 0.3 on each side giving you 3x=3 divide by 3 on each side giving you x=1 so your answer is x=1.
Answer:
The slope of the line representing the linear function f(x) is determined as . The function f(x) is decreasing because the slope is less than zero, i.e., m<0.
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function f(x) is given with two points, (2,3) and (0,4) lying on the line representing f(x).
It is asked to determine the slope of the line and state if the function is increasing or decreasing. of the value of the slope obtained.
Step 1 of 1
Determine the slope of the line.
The points as given in the question are (2,3) and (0,4). Now, the formula for the slope is given as
So, substitute for and respectively, and for and respectively in the above formula. Then simplify to get the slope as follows,
The slope of the line is obtained as . Now, as , so the function f(x) is decreasing.

Answer:
B) obtuse
Step-by-step explanation:
I like to answer these questions using a "form factor" (f) computed as ...
f = a² + b² - c² . . . . . . . where a, b, c are side lengths with c the longest
Then ...
f = 9² +12² -17² = 81 +144 -289 = -64
The negative value indicates an obtuse triangle (largest angle more than 90°).
__
f = 0 indicates a right triangle; f > 0 indicates an acute triangle.
_____
<em>Additional comments</em>
You may recognize that the two short sides have the ratio 9:12 = 3:4. You know a (3, 4, 5) triangle is a right triangle, so this triangle would be a right triangle if the longest side were 15. Since it is 17, you know the largest angle is more than 90°.
This "form factor" is related to the angle computation you would do to find the measure of the largest angle using the law of cosines. That angle is ...
C = arccos(f/(2ab)) = arccos(-64/216) ≈ 107.2°
Since the factor (2ab) is always positive, the sign of "f" tells you the sign of the cosine of the angle. It is negative for angles greater than 90°.
