What is the equation of a line that passes through (-6, 2) and has a slope of -1/2 ?

B=y=-x/2-1 <span>(-6,2). When x of the line is -6, y of the line must be 2.</span>Because you said the line passes through this point, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: . b is what we want, the -1/2 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the the point (-6,2).

So, why not plug in for x the number -6 and for y the number 2? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.

<span>(-6,2). y=mx+b or 2=-1/2 × -6+b, or solving for b: b=2-(-1/2)(-6). b=-1.</span>

Answer:

Reminder that is this form  a(b)^x  where  a > 0

When   b > 0  but < 1 that is a decay function

When   b > 1 than its a growth function

Step-by-step explanation:

So following this you can figure out the answer

g(x)=0.3(x)      

this is neither since there is no exponent (linear)

H=72(56)^t    

this is growth since b  = 56

A=(43)^t        

this is growth since b  = 43 ("a" is understood as "1")

H=5.9(0.82)^t      

this is decay since b =  0.82

y=0.8(3.6)^t      

this is growth since b = 3.6

f(t)=0.72(15)^t    

this is growth since b  = 14  

A=49(8)^t      

this is growth since b  = 8

For which value(s) of x will the rational expression below equal zero? Check all that apply.
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

x = 5 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function of x to be;

f(x) = (x-5)(x+2)/x+1

The value of x that will make the function zero can be calculated for by equating the given function to zero first to have;

If f(x) = 0, then;

(x-5)(x+2)/x+1 = 0

Cross multiplying;

(x-5)(x+2) = 0

(x-5) = 0 and x+2 = 0

x = 5 and x = -2

The value of x that will make the function zero is therefore 5 and -2

Which gives the correct values for points A, B, C, and D?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

<em>The correct answer is: A</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Points on a Numeric Line</u>

The numeric line shown in the figure has four points A, B, C, and D. It's clear that each marked division of the line has a value of 1/4 units and all four points are below the reference zero, thus all are negative.

Point A is clearly on the -2 mark, thus

A=-2

Point B is one mark above A, thus it's located at:

B=-2+\frac{1}{4}=-\frac{7}{4}=-1\frac{3}{4}

B=-1\frac{3}{4}

Point C is one mark below -1, thus:

C=-1-\frac{1}{4}=-1\frac{1}{4}

Finally, point D is one mark below 0:

D=-\frac{1}{4}

The correct answer is: A
