The graph of y= - 1/2x+2 is positive over the interval (4, infinity) and negative over the interval (-infinity, 4) .What happens

on the graph when x=4? explain

The graph of y=ax+b, where a≠0, is always a line:

i) increasing if a>0
ii) decreasing if a<0

Consider the decreasing case.

The line is above the x-axis, that is positive but decreasing. At 1 single point it cuts the x-axis, so x=0, and then it continues decreasing below the x-axis.


Back to our problem:

The graph of y=-1/2 x +2 is a decreasing line.,

so it CANNOT be
"positive over the interval (4, infinity) and negative over the interval (-infinity, 4)"

it is 

"<span>negative over the interval (4, infinity) and  positive over the interval (-infinity, 4)</span>"



the graph is "<span>positive over the interval (-infinity, 4)</span>", it means that the line is decreasing but above the x-axis until 4, (4 not included).

then, "negative over the interval (4, infinity)", which means that the line is now decreasing below the x-axis.

when x=4, the line cuts the x-axis.


check the graph of the line generated using desmos.com

For a triangle with the length of its sides of 5/36, 1/3 and 13/36, determine if it is a right triangle?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Yes it is. Input the numbers into the pythagorean theorem,

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}

and if they equal each other it is a right triangle.

Jamie had 4/5 of a spool of twine. He then used 1/2 of a spool of twine to make friendship knots. Over. Explain how you know whe
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Jamie's claims are correct because 3/10 of the spool twine is left over after using 1/2 of the spool twin for friendship knot

Step-by-step explanation:

Full question: He claims to have 3/10 of the original spool of twine leftover.

First, we compare 3/10 with 4/5 - 1/2

The lowest common multiple for2 and 5 is 10.

To write 4/5 as a fraction with common denominator, multiply numerator and denominator by 2

4/5 = (4×2)/(5×2) = 8/10

To write 1/2 as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply denominator and numerator by5

1/2 =(1×5)/(2×5) = 5/0

So we have :

8/10 - 5/10

Since denominators are equal ,we go ahead and subtract

8/10 - 5/10 = (8-5)/10 = 3/10
