What is the largest possible value of y, if y = - | 3 - x | + 5

1 answer:

Given any expression A, absolute value of A, that is |A|, is always positive or 0.

So |3-x| is always positive or 0, thus -|3-x| is always negative or 0.

Since we want the largest value of - | 3 - x | + 5, we must keep - | 3 - x | as large as possible, that is, we must keep | 3 - x | as small as possible.

The smallest possible value of | 3 - x | is 0. This happens for x=3.

The largest possible value of <span>y = - | 3 - x | + 5 = 0+5 =5

Answer: 5</span>

What two numbers multiply to -50 and add up to -23

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

-25 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = -23

xy = 50, so y = 50 /x

.

x + 50/x =-23, x^2 +23x - 50 = (x-2)(x+25)

so 2 and -25

Find the slope of the line that passes through (9, 6) and (4, 5).

boyakko [2]

Answer:

slope = $\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (9, 6 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 5 )

m = $\frac{5-6}{4-9}$ = $\frac{-1}{-5}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$
