Answer:
1). y = -7/5x - 4
2). y = 1/5x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we have to write the slope-intercept form of the given information.
Slope intercept form is: y = mx + b
Our "m" value is our slope and our "b" value is our y-intercept.
With that knowledge, we can plug in our given information to the slope-intercept equation:
1) slope = -7/5, y-intercept = -4
Plug -7/5 to "m" and -4 to "b"
y = -7/5x - 4
2) slope = 1/5, y-intercept = -5
Plug 1/5 to "m" and -5 to "b"
y = 1/5x - 5
No they are not always diffrent
Okay I think there has been a transcription issue here because it appears to me there are two answers. However I can spot where some brackets might be missing, bear with me on that.
A direct variation, a phrase I haven't heard before, sounds a lot like a direct proportion, something I am familiar with. A direct proportion satisfies two criteria:
The gradient of the function is constant s the independent variable (x) varies
The graph passes through the origin. That is to say when x = 0, y = 0.
Looking at these graphs, two can immediately be ruled out. Clearly A and D pass through the origin, and the gradient is constant because they are linear functions, so they are direct variations.
This leaves B and C. The graph of 1/x does not have a constant gradient, so any stretch of this graph (to y = k/x for some constant k) will similarly not be direct variation. Indeed there is a special name for this function, inverse proportion/variation. It appears both B and C are inverse proportion, however if I interpret B as y = (2/5)x instead, it is actually linear.
This leaves C as the odd one out.
I hope this helps you :)
Answer: ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
In piecewise linear functions, the endpoint of one segment and the initial point of the next segment can have the same x-coordinate but a different value of f(x).
Such difference in values is called a step or discontinuity and such a function is called a discontinuous function.
Here in this case, there are 3 discontinuities: x=-3, x=3 and x = 5.
x = -3 because x is smaller than or greater than -3 but not equal.
x = 3 since greater than 3 in one of the inequalities.
x = 5 since x is smaller than 5 in one of the limits.
