the answer would be ...
f(x) = -5/2x + 4
We know this because the constant in this equation, 4, is the y-intercept!
This means that the number without the variable is <u>where the line intersects the y-axis. </u>
Additionally, the slope is called the "rise over run", but in this case it is negative. At the point, 4, on the y-axis,<u> we go down 5 units (the numerator of the slope) and to the right by 2 units (the denominator). </u>
We find ourselves at where the line intercepts the x-axis!
I hope my explanation isn't confusing and that it is helpful! If you have any questions or concerns, message me! :)
What’s the question LOLOL.
The graph of the function contains the points (0,-7), (1,-9), and (3,-1) is incorrect
it contains all the points except the last set...(3,-1)
y = -2x - 7
-1 = -2(3) - 7
-1 = -6-7
-1 = - 13 (incorrect)
X = Juan's age
y = Eliza's age
Some key words/phrases we can use to help us make the equation are:
-is (whatever comes after this word usually equals the end result, or what it equals)
-two years younger
-than
-half her brother's age
.
just break it down :)
x/2 (half her brother's age) - 2 (two years younger) = y (Eliza is...)
| basically,
v
x/2 - 2 = y
So if Juan is 6, then we need to plug in 6 for x.
6/2 - 2 = y
3 - 2 = y
1 = y
ANSWER: Eliza is one year old.
