How to solve and figure it out

Mathematics

Vilka [71]3 years ago

So your equation is currently in point-slope form; however, to figure out the slope and y-intercept, you'd be better off in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

while in point-slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), you can definitely see the slope as -5, you can't see the y-intercept as easily. x-intercepts are actually the solutions/zeros of a function, and it was included in the answer choices to confuse you.

you're correct about -5 being a decreasing slope. but to figure out the y-intercept, you need to convert to slope-intercept form.

y - 4 = -5(x + 1)  ... distribute the -5
y - 4 = -5x - 5  ... add 4
y = -5x - 1

and in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, you can see that you have a decreasing slope of -5 and a y-intercept of -1. your correct answer is A. choices C and D were thrown in to distract you and make you think that the -5(x + 1) was somehow related to discovering the x-intercept.

Which statement is true regarding the functions on the
prisoha [69]

Answer:

f(2) = g(2)

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Alg I</u>

  • Reading a Cartesian Plane
  • Identifying Coordinates
  • Solutions of systems of equations

Step-by-step explanation:

We see from the graph that f(x) and g(x) intersect at x = 2. Therefore, the point at x = 2 would be equivalent in both graphs/be a solution to both equations.

Therefore, f(2) must equal g(2), as they intersect each other at that point and have the same value of 0.

Solve 7p - 4 + 12p = -3 (5 + p) Can you show the work please?
prisoha [69]
7p - 4 + 12p = -3(5 + p)
7p - 4 + 12p = -15 - 3p
        + 4              + 4
7p + 12p    = -11 - 3p
        + 3p                + 3p
22p             = -11

p = -1/2  Answer
