Answer:

2 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6 x-4 = -2

Add 4 to each side

5/6 x-4+4 = -2+4

5/6 x = 2

Multiply by 6/5 to isolate x

6/5 *5/6 x = 6/5 *2

x = 12/5

Changing this from an improper fraction

5 goes into 12 2 times with 2 left over

x = 2 2/5

What is the domain of the function (-1,1) (0,0) (1,2)

galben [10]

Answer:

{-1,0,1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is the set of all input values. The input values are the first coordinate in any coordinate pair (x,y).

So the domain here is {-1, 0, 1}.

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to 4x - 8y equals 9 and passes through (-3, 6)

vazorg [7]

For this case we have the following equation:

$4x-8y = 9$

We manipulate algebraically to bring the equation to the slope-intersection form y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

$8y = 4x-9\\y =\frac {4} {8} x- \frac {9} {8}\\y =\frac {1} {2} x- \frac {9} {8}$

By definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal.

Thus, the line is of the form:

$y = \frac {1} {2} x + b$

We find the cut-off point by replacing the given point:

$6 = \frac {1} {2} (- 3) + b\\6 = - \frac {3} {2} + b\\b = 6 + \frac {3} {2}\\b = \frac {12 + 3} {2}\\b = \frac {15} {2}$

Thus, the line is of the form:

$y = \frac {1} {2} x + \frac {15} {2}$

Answer:

$y = \frac {1} {2} x + \frac {15} {2}$
