First figure out the slope, the equation is Y2-Y1/ X2-X1.. m=-3/4 So far your equation is y=-3/4x + b. b is the y intercept. Plug in either points in the equation to have so far.. you will receive 7/4. The equation is y=-3/4 + 7/4

Answer: 4y=-3x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line passing through (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

(y-b)=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}(x-a)

The equation of a line passing through (5, -2) and (-3, 4) is given by :-

(y-(-2))=\dfrac{4-(-2)}{-3-5}(x-5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y+2=\dfrac{6}{-8}(x-5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y+2=\dfrac{-3}{4}(x-5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4(y+2)=-3(x-5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4y+8=-3x+15\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4y=-3x-7

Solve the system by substitution.<br> -8x – 7y = -5<br> -x = y
Lapatulllka [165]

Substitute y = -x into the first equation:

-8x - 7(-x) = -5

-8x + 7x = -5

-x = -5

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into y = -x

y = -(5)

y = -5

Answer: x = 5, y = -5

Which of the following best describes the best equation below?
KIM [24]

Answer:

Not Linear

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, which means that the degree of a linear equation must be 0 or 1 for each of its variables. In this case, the degree of variable y is 1 and the degree of variable x is 3.

What's the inverse of f(x)=3x^2+6?
djyliett [7]
Switch where the x and y are, then solve for y. f(x) = y.

x = 3y^2 + 6

x-6 = 3y^2

(x-6)/3 = y^2

f^-1(x) = y = sqrt((x-6)/3)

Aleksandra started studying how the number of branches on her tree grows over time. Every 1.51.51, point, 5 years, the number of
Alika [10]

Answer:

52(9/7)^t/1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The function N(t) a which models the number of branches t years after Aleksandra began studying her trees ;

Initial number of branches = 52

Increment every 1.5 years = 2/7

N(t) = Initial * (1 + r)^t

t expressed per year = t/1.5

Hence,

N(t) = 52(1 + 2/7)^t/1.5

N(t) = 52(9/7)^t/1.5
