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

Find the value of x and y
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

x = 80, y = 122

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this equation by using vertical angles to create a complimentary angle pair (they sum to 90 degrees).

3/4x+2/5x-2=90°,

23/20x - 2=90°,

23/20x = 92°,

92/(23/20)

20/(1/4)

20(4)

= 80.

Since the angles are a linear pair on the left side(they sum to 180 degrees). Just subtract 180 from 3/4x-2 and substitute x into the expression.

180-(3/4(x)-2), 180-3/4(80)+2 = 120+2 = 122

3(5b-1)=5<br> solve for b<br><br> 4(3y-1)=20<br> solve for y
Gnom [1K]
3(5b-1)=5
Get rid of the brackets
15b-3=5
add 3 to both sides of the equation
15b=8
divide both sides of the equation by 15
b=0.53

4(3y-1)=20
12y-4=20
12y=24
y=0.5
