1. For the function rule y = -2x - 3, provide the x-y coordinates of the y-intercept and the x-intercept. Show your work.

1 answer:

3 0

The function is y=f(x)=-2x-3

the graph of this function are all pairs (x, y)=(x, f(x))=(x, -2x-3)

the y-intercept of a graph of a function, is the point where the graph cuts the y-axis, which happens at x=0.

at x=0, f(x)=f(0)=-2*0-3=-3

the x-intercept(s) of the graph, are the point(s) where the graph intersects the x-axis. At those points, the y-coordinate is 0.

so the x-intercept(s) are points of the form (x, 0)

now,

(x, 0)=(x, -2x-3)

0=-2x-3
2x=-3
x=-3/2

Answer:

x-intercept: (-3/2, 0)
y-intercept: (0, )

Indicate the equation of the given line in standard form. The line through (2, -1) and parallel to a line with slope of 3/4

Ket [755]

Well, for a line with a slope of 3/4, any other parallel line to it, will also have the same slope of 3/4

so if the line through (2, -1) is parallel to it, it has a slope of 3/4 as well

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ -1}})\quad 

\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{3}{4}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{plug in the values for }
\begin{cases}
y_1=-1\\
x_1=2\\

Which graph represents the function f(x) = |x + 3|?

Sophie [7]

Answer: (B)
Explanation: If you are unsure about where to start, you could always plot some numbers down until you see a general pattern.

But a more intuitive way is to determine what happens during each transformation.
A regular y = |x| will have its vertex at the origin, because nothing is changed for a y = |x| graph. We have a ray that is reflected at the origin about the y-axis.

Now, let's explore the different transformations for an absolute value graph by taking a y = |x + h| graph.
What happens to the graph?
Well, we have shifted the graph -h units, just like a normal trigonometric, linear, or even parabolic graph. That is, we have shifted the graph h units to its negative side (to the left).

What about the y = |x| + h graph?
Well, like a parabola, we shift it h units upwards, and if h is negative, we shift it h units downwards.

So, if you understand what each transformation does, then you would be able to identify the changes in the shape's location.

Explain the distance formula. Then use it to calculate the

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

$dAB=10\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u>distance formula</u> is derived by creating a triangle and using the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between the two points

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

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$
