Gaira was asked to evaluate the algebraicexpression –3.8x + 6 when x = –7.5.

2 answers:

8 0

Sample response: Gaira made a mistake when substituting the value –7.5 in for x. She multiplied both terms of the expression by –7.5 when she should have only multiplied –3.8 by –7.5. The correct answer is 34.5.

gaira ALSO multiplied 6 by x, when 6 doesnt have 6x.

so the correct answer would be only -3.8(-7.5) + 6 which is 34.5.

Answer:

y = x² + 3x - 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the zeros are x = - 8 and x = 5, then the factors are

(x + 8) and (x - 5) and

y = (x + 8)(x - 5) ← expand factors

y = x² - 5x + 8x - 40, hence

y = x² + 3x - 40 ← in standard form

<h3>What is the equation of a line passing through two given points in 2 dimensional plane?</h3>

Suppose the given points are (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2), then the equation of the straight line joining both two points is given by

$(y - y_1) = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} (x -x_1)$

The equation of the line is found as;

$\rm y-y_1= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\\\ \rm y-9= \frac{31-9}{2+5} (x+5)\\\\ 7y-63 = \frac{31-9}{2+5} (c+5)\\\\ 7y-63=22x+110\\\\ 7y= 22x+173 \\\\ but ,x=13\\\\ 7y=22 \times 13 +173\\\\ y= \frac{1259}{7} \\\\ y= 179$
