Given the two points (-1,-4) and (2,5): a. Find the slope between these two points

1 answer:

4 0

Easy, using $\frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2}$ to find the intercept:

$\frac{-4-5}{-1-2}$ =

$\frac{-9}{-3}$ =3

This is your slope. m=3

To find y=mx+b form

-4=3(-1)+b

-4=-3+b

-1=b

y=3x-1 in y=mx+b form

Answer:

x=6, y=128

set 5x+16 = 7x+4

-2x=-12

x=6

plug x into equation= 46

180-46=134

y+6=134

y=128

the members of the band are selling raffle tickets.if their goal is to raise at least $950,the number of tickets they must sell

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

140 is the solution of the inequality

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequalities are used just like equations.

Given

Total amount to be raised = $950

Price of one ticket = $2.50

The inequality that represents the situation is:

2.50x≥950

Dividing both sides by 2.50

$\frac{2.50x}{2.50} \geq \frac{950}{2.50}\\x\geq 140$

140 is the solution of the inequality

a parabola has an x-intercept at 2, its axis of symmetry is the line x=4, and the y-coordinate of its vertex is 6. Determine the

nlexa [21]

Answer:

The standard equation of the parabola is:

$y=-\frac{3}{2}x^2+12x-18$

Step-by-step explanation:

An x intercept of 2 means that the point (2, 0) is in the graph of the parabola.

We can also write the general expression for the parabola in vertex form, since we can use the information on the coordinates of the vertex: (4, 6) - recall that the axis of symmetry of the parabola goes through the parabola's vertex, so the x-value of the vertex must be x=4.

$y-y_{vertex}=a\,(x-x_{vertex})^2\\y-6=a\,(x-4)^2$
