$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-5}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-5}-\stackrel{y1}{(-2)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{0}-\underset{x_1}{5}}}\implies \cfrac{-5+2}{-5}\implies \cfrac{-3}{-5}\implies \cfrac{3}{5}$

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-2)}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{3}{5}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{5}) \\\\\\ y+2=\cfrac{3}{5}x-3\implies y=\cfrac{3}{5}x-5$

Determine whether the following function is one-to-one. f ( x ) = 6 x + 1

seraphim [82]

Answer:

one to one function

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=6x+1 can only be a one to one function when x1=x2

Now,

f(x1)=f(x2)

or, 6x1 + 1 = 6x2 + 1

or, 6x1 = 6x2

or, x1 = x2

So f(x)= 6x + 1 is a one to one function
