The valley in California has an elevation of feet "below sea level".
Below sea level means below 0 feet, so it'd have -5 feet
The one in Arizona would be lower than it, so the elevation will definitely be -9 feet
The sum of 2 complementary angles equals 90 degrees.
If angle 1 and 2 are complementary and angle 1 and 3 are also complementary than angle 2 would have to be the same as angle 3.
The answer would be true.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If these 3 points are collinear, then we can find the slope of the linear function using any 2 of those points. Suppose we use (-4, 3) and (0, 1):
As we move from (-4, 3) to (0, 1), x increases by 4 and y decreases by 2. Hence, the slope of this lilne is m = rise/run = -2/4, or m = -1/2.
Using the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b and replacing y with 1, x with 0 and m with -1/2, we get:
1 = (-1/2)(0) + b, or b = 1. Then the desired equation is y = f(x) = (-1/2)x + 1
