point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-5 = -2/15(x--5)

y-5 = -2/15 (x+5)

change to slope intercept form

distribute

y-5 =-2/15x -10/15

y-5 = -2/15x -2/3

add 5 to each side

y = -2/15x -2/3 + 5

y = -2/15x -2/3 + 15/3

y = -2/15x +13/3

A lines equation is generally

mx+b

where m is the slope (-2/15)
and b is the y intercept

point: (-5,5)

y = mx +/- b

5 = -2/15 - 5 (plugging in)

multiply b by the numerator

5 = 10/15

multiply y by the denomenator

75/15 - 10/15

subtract ^

65/15 (4.33 when calculated)

Solve the system of linear equations by substitution.<br><br> y = 2x + 8<br> y = -2x
posledela

Answer:

(- 2, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x + 8 → (1)

y = - 2x → (2)

substitute y = 2x + 8 into (2)

2x + 8 = - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )

4x + 8 = 0 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

4x = - 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = - 2

substitute x = - 2 into (2)

y = - 2(- 2) = 4

solution is (- 2, 4 )

UGH GEEZ PLEASE HELP
trapecia [35]

Answer:

$0.40

Step-by-step explanation:

1st week total: 12.99 + 10.50 + 9.89 + 6.90 + 7.58 = $47.86

5 days total so the mean of 1st week: 47.86 / 5 = $9.57

2nd week, 2 more in total of 1st week = $47.86 + $ 2 = $49.86

The mean of 2nd week: 49.86 / 5 = $9.97

$9.97 - $9.57 = $0.40

2nd week increased 40 cents or $0.40

Answer:

bottom of graph will move from (0,0) to point (1,3) after transformation

Step-by-step explanation:

given

original : f(x) = x^{2}

transformed; g(x) = (x-1)^{2} + 3

look at this way g(x) =  (x-h)^{2} + k

if (x-h), h>0, move h units to the right

if k>0, move k units up

the bottom of the graph will be at point (1,3)
