Answer:

ANSWER

a=-32

EXPLANATION

If C(a,1) is on the line that passes through A(3, 7), and B(-4, 9), then the three points are collinear.

This implies that, when we find the slope using any two points, we should get the same re. sorry couldnt finish

Determine the equation of a line that passrs through the point (4,-1) and also parallel to y=3x+4

nexus9112 [7]

First, plug in the given point into y=mx +b to find b (the y-intercept of the line). Use the same slope (m) in the equation since parallel lines have the same slope (3 in this case).

-1 = 3(4) +b
-1 = 12 + b Subtract 12 to both sides.
-13 = b

Now, put your m and b into y=mx+b.

The final answer/equation of your line is:

y=3x -13

What are the key aspects of the graph of f(x) = x2 – b2, where b is a real number?

netineya [11]

Given equation is $f\left(x\right)=x^2-b^2$ .

Now we need to find about what are the key aspects of the graph of $f\left(x\right)=x^2-b^2$ , where b is a real number.

We know that square of any number is always positive.

then $b^2$ must be a positive number.

So that means for any real number b, as the value of b increases then graph of f(x) shifts downward by $b^2$ units as compared to the graph of parent function $f\left(x\right)=x^2$
