What is slope-intercept form? Why do we write equations using this form?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Brums [2.3K]3 years ago
7 0
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept

the slope is the rate of change of the graph, basically rise/run (change in y divided by change in x)

the y intercept is where the graph intercepts the y axis





we usually use this form because we can find the slope and find where it hits the y axis.
there are other forms that may be helpful later on, but this one is usually the easiest form to find from a graph

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^4 +5x^3 -18x +1\\\\f(-4) = (-4)^4 +5(-4)^3 -18(-4) +1\\\\~~~~~~~~~=256+5(-64)+72+1\\\\~~~~~~~~~=329-320\\\\~~~~~~~~~=9

Y= 2x-1 is a tangent to y=x^2. Name the point of tangency,
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Point of tangency is x=1 or (1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

You don't really need to use Calculus here. You can just set each equation to each other and solve for x (the point of tangency):

x^2=2x-1

x^2-2x+1=0

(x-1)(x-1)=0

x=1

Therefore, the point of tangency is x=1 or (1,1)

Factor completely and then place the factors in the proper location on the grid.<br> x2 + 13x + 36
Alexxandr [17]

1. x^2 + 13x + 36 = 0  

using powerful & time-sparing quadratic formula :  

delta = 13^2 - 4*1*36 = 25 = 5^2  

x1 and x2 = (-13 -/+ 5)/2 = -9 and -4  

x^2 + 13x + 36 = (x+9)(x+4)  

2. other way : complete the square  

b^2 + 12b + 32 = b^2 + 2*6b + 6^2 - 6^2 + 32  

b^2 + 12b + 32 = (b+6)^2 - 4  

b^2 + 12b + 32 = (b+6-2)(b+6+2) = (b+4)(b+8)  

3. other way : -4 "ovious" solution : (-4)^2 - (-4) -20 = 0  

so the other is : -4 . a2 = -20/1 ---> a2 = 5  

a^2 - a - 20 = (a-5)(a+4)
