First, lets solve f(x). g(x) is already given. Find the slope of f(x) by doing m = y2-y1/x2-x1. I'm going to use -1,-5 (1) and 0,-1 (2). -1-(-5) = 4 and 0-(-1) = 1. This means that the slope is 4 since 4/1 = 4.
Now find y intercept (b). Since we know that y=4x+b, we can solve this by plugging in an ordered pair. I will use -1,-5. -5 = 4(-1) +b. With this, we see that -5 = -4+b and b = -1 since -5 = -4-1.
Your equation for f(x) is y=4x-1.
A: The slopes are equal since both of them are 4.
B: g(x) has a greater y intercept since 3 > -1.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 18 + 4x + 15 = 180
7x + 33 = 180
7x = 147
x = 21
Answer:
101 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The direct path across the stream and perpendicular to both sides of the stream is one leg of a right triangle. The 20 meter distance on the arriving side of the stream is another leg of the right triangle. The path he actually took is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
leg 1 = 99 m
leg 2 = 20 m
hypotenuse = ?
We have a right triangle, and we know the lengths of the two legs. We need to find the length of the hypotenuse, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
99^2 + 20^2 = c^2
9801 + 400 = c^2
c^2 = 10201
c = sqrt(10201) = 101
