Hi there!

I think the slope of the line crossing over the graph is negative.

Why?

Because y=<span><span>−<span>0.666667x</span></span>−7.666667 OR, read below!</span>

We will get a negative answer, to show that our slope is negative.

We'll solve for y instead of x.


2x + 3y + 23 = 0


1) Add -23 to both sides. (We're already starting out with a negative!)


<span><span><span><span><span>2x </span>+<span> 3y </span></span>+ 23 </span>+ <span>−23</span></span> =<span> 0 + <span>−23</span></span></span>

<span><span><span>
</span></span></span><span><span><span>2x </span>+ <span>3y </span></span>= <span>−23</span></span>

<span><span>
</span></span>

2) Add -2x to both sides.


<span><span><span><span>2x </span><span><span><span>+ <span>3y</span></span> + <span>−<span>2x </span></span></span>= <span><span>−23 </span>+ <span>−<span>2x</span></span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span><span /></span></span></span><span><span><span><span>
</span></span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span><span>
</span></span></span></span><span><span>3y </span>= <span><span>−<span>2x </span></span>− 23</span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span>
</span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span /></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span>
</span></span>3) Divide both sides by 3.</span></span></span>

<span><span><span>
</span></span></span>

<span><span><span>
</span></span></span>

3y/3 = -2x - 23/3



y = -2/3x + -23/3


So, now that we've done all 3 steps, your answer is


y = -2/3x + -23/3, which is a negative answer!


Now we see that the slope of <span><span><span><span>2x</span>+<span>3y</span></span>+23</span>=0 is negative.</span>


Hope this helps! :D


Meant to add - The /'s are fraction bars

X + 5 ≤ 13 what's the answer for this question?​
wariber [46]

Answer:

Inequality Form: x ≤ 8

Interval Notation: (-∞,8]

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5 ≤ 13

Subtract 5 on both sides...

13 - 5 = 8

You're left with x ≤ 8

Which graph represents a function? A coordinate plane shows 4 points with the following coordinates: (negative 3, 3), (negative
Jet001 [13]

The ordered pair that represents a function is:

⇒ (-3, 3), (-2, -2), (1, 1), (2, -2)

<u>What are Coordinates?</u>

A pair of numbers that describe the exact position of a point on a cartesian plane by using horizontal and vertical lines are called the coordinates.

The given points are;

(-3, 3), (-3, -3), (-1, 1), (1, 4)

(-3, 3), (-2, -2), (1, 1), (2, -2)

(-3, 3), (-3, -3), (1, -4), (1, 1)

(-4, 4), (-4, 1), (-2, 1), (2, 1)

Now, For an ordered pair to be a function, either of the following must be true:

Each x-value has exactly one corresponding y-value.

More than one x-values have the same corresponding y-values.

And, If any of the following conditions is true, then the ordered pair is not a function,

One x-value has multiple corresponding y-values.

More than one x-values have multiple corresponding y-values.

From the given options, only ordered pair  (-3, 3), (-2, -2), (1, 1), (2, -2) satisfies the condition to be a function.

Because none of its x-values have multiple corresponding y-values.

And, Other ordered pairs are either one-to-many or many-to-many.

So, The ordered pair that represents a function is:

⇒  (-3, 3), (-2, -2), (1, 1), (2, -2)
