Answer: y = - 4x + 2

Explanation:

The graph shows a linear function, which is a first degree polynomial, whose form is ax + b.

The rule or fucntion is f(x) = y = ax + b. This form is called the slope-intercept form, because the coefficient a is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

The graph permits you to calculate both parameters.

1) The slope, a is defined in this way:

a = rise / run = [change in y] / [change in x] = [y₂ -y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]

you can use the points (0, - 2) and (-1,2):

⇒ a = [ 2 - (-2) ] / [ -1 - 0 ] = 4 / (-1) = - 4

2) b, the y-intercept, is the value of the function, y, when x = 0. In the graph you can see that this is - 2. b = - 2.

3) Substituting the values of a and b in the form y = ax + b, you the rule:

y = - 4x - 2

Obasi earns 150%, percent of his regular hourly wage while working overtime. What fraction of his regular hourly wage does Obasi

hammer [34]

Obasi earns 150% of his regular hourly wage while working overtime.

Let us convert percentage into fraction first:

To convert a percentage into fraction we need to use the following formula:

a% $=\frac{a}{100}$

Here, he earns 150% of his hourly wage while working overtime:

So,

150%= $=\frac{150}{100} =\frac{3}{2} =1.5$

Obasi earns $\frac{3}{2}$ of his hourly earnings or 1.5 times of his hourly earnings while working overtime.

Find the inverse of the following function

KatRina [158]

f-¹(x)= $\frac{2-7x}{x+2}$

Answer:

Solution given:

f(x)= $\frac{-2x+2}{x+7}$

Let f(x)=y

y= $\frac{-2x+2}{x+7}$

Interchanging role of x and y

x= $\frac{-2y+2}{y+7}$

doing crisscrossed multiplication

x(y+7)=-2y+2

now solve it:

xy+7x=-2y+2

keep like terms in one side

xy+2y=2-7x

take common

y(x+2)=2-7x

make a value of y

y= $\frac{2-7x}{x+2}$

So,

f-¹(x)= $\frac{2-7x}{x+2}$

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 3) and (5, –2)?

Sergeu [11.5K]

m=-(5/4)

From left to right, (1,3) is first and then comes (5,-2). Always remember when finding slopes without equations, the rule is RISE over RUN, to the numerator and denominator, respectively.

The y value of the second coordinates becomes negative which is unlike the y value in the first coordinates, which means our slope is downward, meaning it has a negative sign in front.

In every slope, there’s a numerator, being the rise, and a denominator, being the run.

To find the rise, we must look at the y values. Starting at 3 going to -2 has a space of 5 units, making that our numerator.

To find the run, the first x value is 1 and the second is 5, making a space of 4, which is out denominator.

With these two numbers and the negative sign, we get -(5/4) as our slope.

Which statements are true about the solid, which has a length of

Virty [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The solid is a cuboid with length of 6 inches, a width of 3 inches, and a height of 2 inches.

The volume is l× w×h = 6×3×2 = 36inches^3

Therefore, the following statements are true about the Solid

1) The volume of the solid is 36 in.3.

2) The perimeter of one of its faces is 10 inches.(2width + 2 height = 2×2 + 2×3 = 10 inches)

3) The area of one of its faces is 6 inches^2. (width × height = 3×2 = 6 inches)

4) The area of one of its faces is 12 in.2.(length × height = 6×2 = 12 inches^2)
