Answer:

f(x)=-3x+4

(can't see some of your choices)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want x to be independent means we want to write it so when we plug in numbers we can just choose what we want to plug in for x but y's value will depend on our choosing of x.

So we need to solve for y.

9x+3y=12

Subtract 9x on both sides

3y=-9x+12

Divide both sides by 3:

y=-3x+4

Replace y with f(x).

f(x)=-3x+4

Among all pairs of numbers with a sum of 238238, find the pair whose product is maximum. Write your answers as fractions reduced

mylen [45]

Answer:

$x=119119,\;\;\;y=119119$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the $x$ be the first number, $y$ be the second number and $p$ be the product of the first and second number.

i.e $x+y=238238$ $\Rightarrow x=238238-y$

$p=xy$

$\Rightarrow p=(238238-y)y\\\Rightarrow p=238238y-y^2$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dp}{dy} =238238-2y\\\Rightarrow 0=238238-2y\\\Rightarrow 2y=238238\\\Rightarrow y=119119$

Now,

$x=238238-119119\\\\ \Rightarrow x=119119$

Hence, $x=119119,\;\;\;y=119119$

What is an equation of a line,in point-slope from, that passes through (1, -7) and has a slope of -2/3

il63 [147K]

Answer:

y + 7 = - $\frac{2}{3}$ (x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

Where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - $\frac{2}{3}$ and (a, b) = (1, - 7), thus

y - (- 7) = - $\frac{2}{3}$ (x - 1), that is

y + 7 = - $\frac{2}{3}$ (x - 1) ← in point- slope form
