Step b is wrong. The slope is the change in y over the change in x.
Step b should be (18- 8)/( 10-6)
= 10/4
= 5/2
Answer:
f(x) = g(x-9)
Step-by-step explanation:
One meaning of a 'linear' equation is that if you draw the graph
of the equation, the graph will be a straight line.
That's an easy way to test the equation . . . find 3 points on the
graph, and see whether they're all in a straight line.
This equation is y = 4 / x .
To find a point on the graph, just pick any number for 'x',
and figure out the value of 'y' that goes with it.
Do that 3 times, and you've got 3 points on the graph.
Here ... I'll do 3 quick points:
Point-A: x = 1 y = 4 / 1 = 4
Point-B: x = 2 y = 4 / 2 = 2
Point-C: x = 4 y = 4 / 4 = 1
Look at this:
Slope of the line from point-A to point-B
= (change in 'y') / (change in 'x') = -2 .
Slope of the line from point-B to point-C
= (change in 'y') / (change in 'x') = -1/2 .
The two pieces of line from A-B and from B-C don't even have
the same slope, so they're not pieces of the same straight line !
So my points A, B, and C are NOT in a straight line.
So the equation is NOT linear.
Try it again with three points of your own.
Answer: Part A: y= -1200x +25000 this is because it decreases 1200$ a year that is your rate of change and it started at 25000 that is your y-intercept
Part B: question a would be 46000$ because that’s where the zero is which is when he bought it question b is 3000$ because that is how much the table decreases with each year
Step-by-step explanation:
The line segment goes through (-2,3) and (1,-3).
The slope of the line is

Therefore the equation of the line segment is of the form
y = -2x + b
Because the line segments goes through (-2,3), therefore
-2(-2) + b = 3
4 + b = 3
b = -1
Answer: The equation is y = -2x - 1
