First, we determine that the given equation in this item is a linear equation. Thus, it should be a straight line. With this, we are left with the third and fourth choice. Then, we substitute the given data points to the equation and see if the points satisfy the given.

Choice 3:

<span>            (1,3)   :    (-5)(1) + (2)(3) = 1   TRUE</span>

<span>            (3,8)   :    (-5)(3) + 2(8) = 1      TRUE</span>

<span>            (-3,-7) :    (-5)(-3) + (2)(-7) = 1 TRUE</span>

 

Choice 4:

<span>            (4,-3)  :  (-5)(4) + (2)(-3) ≠ 1     FALSE</span>

<span>            (-1,2)   : (-5)(-1) + (2)(2) ≠ 1     FALSE</span>

<span>            (-4,5)   : (-5)(-4) + (2)(5) ≠ 1    FALSE</span>

 

<span>Thus, the answer is the third choice.</span>

Answer:

It is a straight line joining the points (1, 3), (3, 8), and (−3, −7).

Step-by-step explanation:

because I used a website called Desmos, and the line was not curved, but it was a straight line and the Point of each of these answers that it touched was (1,3), (3,8), and (-3,-7)

I hope that this helps you.

Hey you ‼️ yeah I unfortunately need your help again these are hard:(

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of this question is to find out the point where two lines intersect. First we need to get the equation of those lines

Slope of line 1:

(Yb -Ya)/(Xb - Xa) =

(-10 - (-14))/(-1 - (-3)) =

4/2 =

2

Use that slope to find the Y-intercept of line 1

y = 2x + b

-14 = 2(-3) +b

-14 = -6 + b

-8 = b

Therefore Line 1 is:

y = 2x - 8

Slope of line 2

(11 - 13)/(-1 - (-3)) =

-2/2 =

-1

Y-intercept of line 2

y = -x + b

13 = -(-3) +b

13 = 3 + b

10 = b

Therefore line 2 is

y = -x + 10

Now we have 2 equations to solve for the coordinates x and y

y = 2x - 8

y = -x + 10

Substitute y out in one of the equations

2x - 8 = -x + 10

3x = 18

x = 6

Plug x into one of the equations

y = 2(6) - 8

y = 12 - 8

y = 4

Therefore the solution is:

x=6, y=4

If g(x) is a linear function such that g(-3) = 2 and g(1) = -4, find g(7).
eimsori [14]
<h3>Answer:   -13</h3>

=======================================

Explanation:

g(-3) = 2 means x = -3 and y = 2 pair up together to form the point (-3,2)

g(1) = -4 means we have the point (1,-4)

Find the slope of the line through the two points (-3,2) and (1,-4)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-4-2)/(1-(-3))

m = (-4-2)/(1+3)

m = -6/4

m = -3/2

m = -1.5

The general slope intercept form y = mx+b turns into y = -1.5x+b after replacing m with -1.5

Plug in (x,y) = (-3,2) which is one of the points mentioned earlier and we end up with this new equation:  2 = -1.5*(-3) + b

Let's solve for b

2 = -1.5*(-3)+b

2 = 4.5 + b

2-4.5 = 4.5+b-4.5 .... subtract 4.5 from both sides

-2.5 = b

b = -2.5

Therefore, y = mx+b becomes y = -1.5x-2.5 meaning the g(x) function is g(x) = -1.5x-2.5

The last step is to plug in x = 7 and compute

g(x) = -1.5*x - 2.5

g(7) = -1.5*7 - 2.5

g(7) = -10.5 - 2.5

g(7) = -13
