Let the two numbers be x and y

x + y = 5(x-y)
x + y = 5x -5y
6y = 4x
x= (6/4)y
x= (3/2)y

there the ratio is 3/2

The equation of three other functions are given which function or functions have a slope equal to the slope of Function 1

ratelena [41]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Function(s) with the same slope as function 1

The question is incomplete as function 1 and the three additional functions are not given.

However, I will provide a general explanation.

A slope is represented as:

$y = mx + b$

Where

$m \to$ slope

So, considering the following equations

$y = 2x + 3$

$y = \frac{3x}{2} + 9$

$y = 2x - 5$

$y = -2x + 3$

The following equations have the same slope

$y = 2x + 3$ and $y = 2x - 5$

Because: $y = mx + b$ implies that:

$m = 2$ for $y = 2x + 3$ and $y = 2x - 5$

In the xy plane, what is the y intercept of the graph of the equation y=2 (x+3)(x+4)?

olga2289 [7]

The y-intercept is the value of y when the graph intersects the y-axis. Graphs intersect the y-axis when x=0, so we just substitute in x=0 to get:

y=2(0+3)(0+4)

y=2(3)(4)

y=24

Therefore, 24 is our answer.

Hope I helped :)
