Which expression can be used to determine the slope of the linear function graphed below?

2 answers:

8 0

So remember that the slope formula is $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ , and the 2 coordinates that are given to us are (2,0) and (0,-4).

Using these two points, either $\frac{-4-0}{0-2}$ or $\frac{0-(-4)}{2-0}$ is acceptable.

we Know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Let

$A(0,-4)\ B(2,0)$

substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{0-(-4)}{2-0}$

$m=\frac{0+4}{2-0}$

$m=\frac{4}{2}=2$

therefore

the answer is the option

$\frac{-4-0}{0-2}$

Which set of ordered pairs in the form of (x,y) does not represent a function of x? {(-1,2), (3,-2),(0,1),(5,2}

serg [7]

For a relation to be a function it must be $one-to-one or many-to-one.$

$One-to-many$ relation is not a function.

In the above options, C is $One-to-many$ relation therefore cannot be a function.

The reason is that 3 alone maps onto -2 and 5, in the ordered pairs (3,-2) and (3,5). This disqualifies it from being a function.

Hence the graph of this relation will not pass the vertical line test

$The correct answer is C$
