The inverse of the function is y = 
In order to find this, you must start by switching the y and x values. Once you do this, you can solve for the new y value and that will be in inverse. The work is done for you below.
y = 2x^2 + 2 ---> switch x and y
x = 2y^2 + 2 ---> subtract 2 from both sides
x - 2 = 2y^2 ---> divide both sides by 2
= y^2 ---> take the square root of both sides.
= y
A)
The slope-intercept form:

m - slope
b - y-intercept
The formula of a slope:

We have the points (2, 5.1) and (-1, -0.5). Substitute:

Therefore we have:

Put the coordinates of the point (-1, -0.5) ot the equation:

<em>multiply both sides by 2</em>
<em>add
to both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 2</em>

Answer: 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B)
We have the points (-2, 3) and (3, -4).
Calculate the slope:

Therefore we have:

Put the coordinates of the point (-2, 3) to the equation of a line:

<em>subtract
from both sides</em>

Answer: 
Answer:
y = 2/3x + b
(Find b first with the steps below)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is y = mx + b and m is the slope. You were already given the slope and you were even given a point. All you have to do is graph the point and use the slope until it intercepts the y-axis.
- Plot the point (9,-8)
- Go up 2, left 3 spots until the line hits the y-axis (the vertical one)
- That point is what b will be equal to in y = mx + b
A. because asexual reproduction creates many at the same time and all of them can be very different.
