ANSWER

y + 5= - \frac{9}{11} (x-3)

or

y - 4= - \frac{9}{11} (x + 8)

EXPLANATION

We want to find the equation in point-slope form of a line that passes through the points (3, −5) and (−8, 4).

The point-slope form is given by;

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where

m = \frac{4 - - 5}{ - 8 - 3} = \frac{4 + 5}{ - 11} = - \frac{9}{11}

is the slope of the line.

If

(x_1,y_1)=(3,-5)

The point-slope form is

y + 5= - \frac{9}{11} (x-3)

On the other hand, if
(x_1,y_1)=( - 8,4)

Then the point-slope form is,

y - 4= - \frac{9}{11} (x + 8)

These two equations are the same when simplified.

Which is a valid prediction about the continuous function f(x)?
Bumek [7]
Without seeing the graph, it's impossible to tell. The same can be said if we don't know the function rule. However, we can rule out three non-answers. 

Choice B is false because the interval [1,3] has f(x) below zero but the rest of the interval to the right of x = 3 has f(x) not below zero.

Choice C is false. The value x = -1 leads to f(x) = 0 which is not greater than 0

Choice D is false because the values 8 and 4 are positive

After eliminating B, C, & D, we are left with choice A as the answer.

What is the value of y?<br> y +10°<br> 50°<br> A. 500<br> B. 40°<br> C. 60°<br> ОО<br> D. 300
klasskru [66]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , then

y + 10 + 2y + 50 = 180 , that is

3y + 60 = 180 ( subtract 60 from both sides )

3y = 120 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 40 → B
