Which equation represents a linear function?

Answer:

y-2=-5(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equations given are:

y-2=-5(x - 2)\\X+ 7 = -4(X + 8)\\y - 3 = y(x + 4)\\y + 9 = x(x - 1)

Now, a linear function is of the form:

y=mx+b

Where, 'm' and 'b' are real numbers and m\ne0

Equation 1: y-2=-5(x - 2)

Simplifying using distributive property, we get:

y-2=-5x+10\\y=-5x+10+2\\y=-5x+12

The above equation is of the form y=mx+b. So, it represents a linear function.

Equation 2: X+ 7 = -4(X + 8)

Here, both sides of the equation has same variable 'X'. So, it will form an equation of 1 variable. So, it's not a linear function.

Equation 3: y - 3 = y(x + 4)

Simplifying the above equation. This gives,

y-3=yx+4y\\y-4y-yx=3\\y(1-4-x)=3\\y(-3-x)=3\\y=\frac{3}{(-3-x)}

This is not of the form of the linear function. So, it is also not a linear function.

Equation 4: y + 9 = x(x - 1)

Simplifying the above equation. This gives,

y+9=x^2-x\\y=x^2-x-9

This is not of the form of the linear function. So, it is also not a linear function.

irga5000 [103]

Answer

a= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(a-3)=12

1.) -2(a)= -2a

2) -2(-3)= 6

3)  -2a+6=12

          -6    -6

4) -2a/-2 = 12/-2

a = -6

At East Middle School, there are 58 left-handed students and 609 right-handed students. The numbers of left- and right-handed st
EastWind [94]

<u>Answer:</u>

C. Left-handed: 48, Right-handed: 504

D. Left-handed: 30, Right-handed: 315

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that there are 58 left-handed students and 609 right-handed students at East Middle School and these numbers of students are proportional to the number of left and right handed students at East Middle School.

Given the above information, we are are to determine which two options could be the the numbers of left-handed and right-handed students at West Junior High.

Ratio of right handed to left handed students at East Middle School = \frac{609}{58} = 10.5

Checking for ratios of the given options:

A. \frac{483}{42} =11.5

B. \frac{378}{28} =13.5

C. \frac{504}{48} =10.5

D. \frac{560}{56} =10

E. \frac{315}{30} =10.5

Therefore, the possible numbers of left-handed and right-handed students at West Junior High could be C. Left-handed: 48, Right-handed: 504 and D. Left-handed: 30, Right-handed: 315.
