What is the slope of the function, represented by the table of values below ?

Komok [63]3 years ago

For a given function, slope is defined as the change in outputs, or y-values divided by the change in inputs, or x-values. In essence the slope asks "For a given change in x, how much does y change?" or even more simply: "How steep is the graph of this function?". This can be represented mathematically by the formula:
m=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Since we have a table of x,y pairs it's the last form of that equation that will be the most useful to us. To compute the slope we can use any two pairs, say the first two, and plug them into our formula:
m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{4-10}{0-(-2)}=\frac{-6}{2}=-3

We can check this answer by using a different pair, say the last two:
m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{(-23)-(-14)}{9-6}=\frac{-9}{3}=-3.

As a common sense check: Our y-values get smaller as our x-values get bigger so a negative slope makes sense. 

m=-3

I need help on this one

You seem to have gotten m∠2. Remember that ∠1 and ∠2 are alternate interior angles, meaning they're both equal. Since they gave you m∠1 as being 26°, you now know the measure of ∠2.

As for m∠3 and m∠4, If you look at ∠3 you'll see that it is complementary to ∠1 (They both add up to 90°), so if you subtract m∠1 from 90° you'll have found m∠3. You find m∠4 the same way.

Hope this helped.

Make x the subject <br><br> PLEASE HELP ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST ASAP
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

x = \frac{(a+1)f^3}{2e}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{a + 1}{2x} = \frac{e}{f^3}\\~\\\\a+1 = \frac{2ex}{f^3}\\~\\\frac{a + 1}{2e} = \frac{x}{f^3}\\~\\x = \frac{(a+1)f^3}{2e}

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to y=47x−3 and passes through (14, 4)?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where

m = slope

c = intercept

The equation of the given line is

y = 47x - 3

Comparing with the slope intercept equation, m = 47

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have equal slope. This means that the slope of the line passing through (14, 4) is 47

We would determine the intercept, c by substituting m= 47, x = 14 and y = 4 into y = mx + c. It becomes

4 = 47× 14 + c

4 = 658 + c

c = 4 - 658 = - 654

The equation becomes

y = 47x - 654
