Y= f(x)= ax+b
when x= -1, y= -1
-1= -a+b | * ( -1)

when x= -3, y=2
2= -3a+b

-3a+b= 2
a - b= 1
--------------
2a=3
a=3/2 is the slope

Write an equation of the line that passes through (0,−5) and (−5,−5)

Annette [7]

Looking at these two points, you can tell that the y values are the same, even though they have different x values.

This tells you that the equation will be y=some number.

Since the y values in both these points are -5, the answer is y=-5

Hope this helps!

The function that represents bruce’s elevation in feet over time in hours is an exponential function that starts at 1,505 feet.

wariber [46]

Answer:

<h3>The function for Bruce’s elevation is $f(x)=1505(6)^x$ and because b=6 that is greater than 0, it is an exponential growth function.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given initial Bruce’s elevation = 1,505 feet.

We know, the exponential function $f(x)=a(b)^x$ , where a is the initial value, b is the growth factor and x is the exponent represents time in hours.

Each successive hour, his average elevation change for the hike becomes 6 times the previous hourly elevation change.

Therefore, initial value a=1505, growth factor b for exponential function $f(x)=a(b)^x$ is 6.

Now we can plug a=1505 and b=6 in $f(x)=a(b)^x$ , we get

$f(x)=1505(6)^x$

Also note, if b>0, it would be an exponential growth function.

<h3>Therefore, the function for Bruce’s elevation is $f(x)=1505(6)^x$ and because b=6 that is greater than 0, it is an exponential growth function.</h3>
