Explanation:
The slope of the line is found by the method: rise/run
You calculate how much the slope rises(goes up) and divide it by run(goes horizontal).
One more thing to note is that: the slope is negative BECAUSE ITS DECREASING.
Your answer: -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 1 = 5x
Bringing like terms on one side
1 = 5x - 3x
1 = 2x
1/2 = x
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just make a line that doesn't have a pattern like 2, 4, 6, 8 or like 6, 12, 18, 24.
99.9% sure just spamming the keyboard with random numbers will work.
Answer:
2(x + 2)² - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² + 8x + 3
To obtain the required form use the method of completing the square.
The coefficient of the x² term must be 1, thus factor 2 out of 2x² + 8x
= 2(x² + 4x) + 3
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² + 4x
= 2(x² + 2(2)x + 4 - 4) + 3
= 2(x + 2)² - 8 + 3
= 2(x + 2)² - 5
with p = 2 and q = - 5
