<em>x = - 2</em>
<em>y = 5</em>
- <em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>
<em>Hi there ! </em>
<em>2x + 9 = y</em>
<em>y = - 4x - 3</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>equality</em>
<em>2x + 9 = - 4x - 3</em>
<em>2x + 4x = - 9 - 3</em>
<em>6x = - 12</em>
<em>x = - 12 : 6</em>
<em>x = - 2</em>
<em>replace x = - 2</em>
<em>2(-2) + 9 = y</em>
<em>- 4 + 9 = y</em>
<em>y = 5</em>
<em>Good luck !</em>

The highest common factor is 48.
Okay. So in order to solve this problem, we really have to try out each answer and divide it by 9. A is not correct, because it does not divide evenly. B works, but let's check the others. C and D do not work, but E also works as well. If you can have two answers, 504 and 882 are both exactly divisible by 9. The answers are B: 504 and E: 882.
A function is increasing if it "points upwards".
Think that you have two inputs
(think of them as being very close to each other). A function
is increasing if

So, smaller input, smaller output.
So:
- In the first segment on the left, the function is decreasing: if you move with little steps rightwards, the output will get smaller and smaller (the function points to the right bottom)
- In the second segment, the line is constant (it's horizontal). This means that even if you consider a larger input, the output reimains the same
- In the third segment, the function is increasing: if you consider a larger input, the output will be larger as well: the function points to the top right.
- In the fourth segment, the function is decreasing again (look at the first bullet point)
So, the function is increasing in the third segment, which is delimited by
