Answer:
y = - 5x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing to do (always) is pay attention to x =0. That at least gives you a partial answer. y = y' - 1. when you put 0 in for whatever y' is you get 0. What about the other numbers? How did they come about.
We have another clue. Whenever you put in a positive number for x, you get a negative answer for y. That's interesting. So y' has a minus sign associated with it.
y = -ax - 1 Make a>0 so there is only 1 minus sign. x cannot have an even power, because an even power would make everything positive except the -1.
So we'll start with y= - ax - 1 We'll also make the assumption that a = 1
y = - x - 1 That won't work. a >1 otherwise x = 2 won't give - 11
y = -ax - 1
let x = 2
let y = - 11 Solve for a
y = - ax - 1
- 11 = -a*-2 - 1 add 1 to both sides
-11 + 1 = - a(-2) - 1 + 1
- 10 = -2a Divide by - 2
- 10/-2 = -2a/-2
a = 5
Answer: y = - 5x - 1
This can be solve by first solving the proportionality constant
Number electic outlets rewired is directly proportional to
time spent
4 = (1 ½)a
Let be the proportionality constant
A = 8/3
O = (8/3)(7.5)
o = 20 outlets will jamal rewired if he works for 7.5 hrs
Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
What is the slope of the line through (2,-2)(2,−2)(, 2, comma, minus, 2, )and (9,3)(9,3)(, 9, comma, 3, )? Choose 1 answer: Choo
svp [43]
Answer:
A) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the two-points formula for the slope of a line.
We know that the points (2,-2) and (9,3) are on the line. If (a,b),(c,d) are points on a line then the slope m is defined by the equation 
. In this case, a=2,b=-2,c=9 and d=3 then the slope is 
.
