Answer:

y < 1/2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the graph, we can find the slope of the graph by using the formula y2 - y1/x2 - x1. But in order to do so, we must find two perfect points.

Point 1: (0,-2)

Point 2: (4,0)

Now, we would put these points into the formula.

0 -(-2) = 2

4 - 0 = 4

2/4 = 1/2

Therefore, the slope of this graph is 1/2

Now we must find the y intercept, which can be found based on where the line intersects with a y coordinate (ex: 0,y). Based on that, we can come to the conclusion that -2 is our y-intercept

In order to proceed we must know what a linear equation is. A linear equation contains the following:

y = mx + b

m of mx represents the slope, you would leave x as it is.

b represents the y intercept

We have already found what each is, so we can go ahead and put in our slope and y-intercept into the linear equation.

y = 1/2x + -2

Because, we are dealing with an inequality problem, the equal sign must be replaced with an inequality sign and that is determined based on the area of the graph that is shaded.

Since, the graph is shaded downwards we will be using the "less than sign", in addition if you haven't noticed, the line is dotted so we will NOT be using any "equal to symbols"

So, after applying all of this together, we can conclude that the inequality that describes this graph is y < 1/2x - 2

Should you have any further questions, please let me know in the comment section below.

K^2+8k-9=0 can you help me solve with showing work

givi [52]

Using the PSN method:

P = -9
S = 8
So N = 9,-1

Using 9 and -1 in the original equation gives:

$k^2+9k-k-9=0
\\k(k+9)-1(k+9)=0
\\(k-1)(k+9)

\\\\k=1,-9$

A particle moves in a straight line so that its velocity at time

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

s(2) = 7.75

Step-by-step explanation:

given the velocity v(t) = t^3

we can find the position s(t) by simply integrating v(t) and using the boundary conditions s(1)=2

$s(t) = \int {v(t)} \, dt\\ s(t) = \int {t^3} \, dt\\s(t) = \dfrac{t^4}{4}+c$

we know throught s(1) = 2, that at t=1, s =2. we can use this to find the value of the constant c.

$s(1) = \dfrac{1^4}{4}+c\\4 = \dfrac{1^4}{4}+c\\c = 4-\dfrac{1}{4}\\c = \dfrac{15}{4} = 3.75$

Now we can use this value of t to formulate the position function s(t):

$s(t) = \dfrac{t^4}{4}+\dfrac{15}{4}\\$

this is the position at time t.

to find the position at t=2

$s(2) = \dfrac{2^4}{4}+\dfrac{15}{4}\\$

$s(2) = \dfrac{31}{4} = 7.75$

the position of the particle at time, t =2 is s(2) = 7.75

How to find slope y=3x+5

klemol [59]

This equation is in slope-intercept form; y = mx+b.

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, so to find the slope you'd look at the coefficient of x.

In this equation, y = 3x+5, the coefficient of x is 3, so that means that the slope of this equation is 3.

Answer is:

3 is the slope
