How do you find the y-intercept and the slope for number 11

Mathematics

Sophie [7]3 years ago

The first step is to find the slope. Use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

The two points are (x1,y1) = (-1,5) and (x2,y2) = (2,-1)

So,
x1 = -1
y1 = 5
and
x2 = 2
y2 = -1
will be plugged into the slope formula to get...
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-1-5)/(2-(-1))
m = (-1-5)/(2+1)
m = (-6)/(3)
m = -2

The slope is -2

Use m = -2 and one of the points to find the y intercept b. I'll use the point (x,y) = (-1,5) ---> x = -1, y = 5

y = mx+b ... slope intercept form
5 = -2*(-1)+b
5 = 2+b
5-2 = 2+b-2
3 = b
b = 3

The y intercept is 3

-----------------------------------

m = -2 is the slope
b = 3 is the y intercept

Therefore y = mx+b turns into y = -2x+3 as the equation that goes through the two points

How many different 10 person committees can be selected from a pool of 23 people?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

We're going to be using combination since this question is asking how many different combinations of 10 people can be selected from a set of 23.

We would only use permutation if the order of the people in the committee mattered, which it seems it doesn't.

Formula for combination:

C(n,r)=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

Where n represents the number of objects/people in the set and r represents the number of objects/people being chosen from the set

There are 23 people in the set and 10 people being chosen from the set

C(23,10)=\dfrac{23!}{(23-10)!10!}

=\dfrac{23!}{13!\times10!}

Usually I would prefer solving such fractions by hand instead of a calculator, but factorials can result in large numbers and there is too much multiplication. Using a calculator, we get

=1,144,066

Thus, there are 1,144,066 different 10 person committees that can be selected from a pool of 23 people. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Consider the function f(x)=3x-1 (over)x+4 (a) At which value of x will the function not have a solution? Explain your answer. (b
Irina18 [472]

Ans(a):

Given function is f(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}

we know that any rational function is not defined when denominator is 0 so that means denominator x+4 can't be 0

so let's solve

x+4≠0 for x

x≠0-4

x≠-4

Hence at x=4, function can't have solution.


Ans(b):

We know that vertical shift occurs when we add something on the right side of function so vertical shift by 4 units means add 4 to f(x)

so we get:

g(x)=f(x)+4

g(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}+4

We may simplify this equation but that is not compulsory.

Comparision:  

Graph of g(x) will be just 4 unit upward than graph of f(x).


Ans(e):

To find value of x when g(x)=8, just plug g(x)=8 in previous equation

8=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}+4


8-4=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}


4=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}


4(x+4)=(3x-1)


4x+16=3x-1


4x-3x=-1-16

x=-17

Hence final answer is x=-17

What are the Slope and the Equation of the Image?
Rama09 [41]

change in y/change in x

y2-y1/x2-x1

-1--5/0-2

-1+5/-2

4/-2

-2

slope is -2

now take one ordered pair and plug it into the equation (for this example i will use the SECOND ordered pair

y = -2x +b

-1 = -2(0)+b

-1 = b

the equation is

<h2>y = -2x - 1</h2>
