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

Mathematics
1 answer:
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.

How do you find the height of a triangle (to calculate area)?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The height of the triangle could be found by the <u>Pythagoras theorem</u>, where the result is, with the data of the exercise:

  • <u>Height of the triangle = 10.392</u>

And the area of the triangle is:

  • <u>Area of the triangle = 31.176 units^2</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have two measurements of a triangle, as the case in the picture, you can find the third with the <em>Pythagoras theorem</em>, which is:

  • <u>(opposite leg)^2 + (adjacent leg)^2 = hypotenuse^2</u>

As you can see in the picture, the measurement of the hypotenuse is 12, and the opposite leg could be 6, for this reason, we're gonna clear the adjacent leg of the formula above:

  • (opposite leg)^2 + (adjacent leg)^2 = hypotenuse^2
  • (adjacent leg)^2 = hypotenuse^2 - (opposite leg)^2

Now, we can replace the values in the formula obtained:

  • (adjacent leg)^2 = hypotenuse^2 - (opposite leg)^2
  • (adjacent leg)^2 = 12^2 - 6^2
  • (adjacent leg)^2 = 144 - 36
  • (adjacent leg)^2 = 108

Now, as we just need the adjacent leg, we take the square root of both sides:

  • adjacent leg = \sqrt{108}
  • <u>adjacent leg = 10.392 approximately</u>.

Now, with these data, we can find the area of the triangle with the next formula:

  • Area of a triangle = (base * height) / 2
  • And we replace the measurements:
  • Area of a triangle = (6 * 10.392) / 2
  • <u>Area of a triangle = 31.176</u>

As the image does not contain units, it would be simply this number, however, <em>you should know that the area units are usually given squared, for example: in^2 or ft^2</em>.

A camp program charges a registration fee and a daily amount. The total bill for 12 days is $338. The total bill for 19 days is
Artyom0805 [142]

The charge for 30 days will be $720 and for 22 numbers of days of people can attend the camp.

<h3>How to form an equation?</h3>

Determine the known quantities and designate the unknown quantity as a variable while trying to set up or construct a linear equation to fit a real-world application.

In other words, an equation is a set of variables that are constrained through a situation or case.

Given, the cost of the camp program

$338 → 12 days

And,

$506 → 19 days

Slope = (506-338)/(19-12)

Slope = 24

So, the cost per day will be 24

So equation will be

y = 24x

Now,

The charge is for 30 days ⇒

y = 24 (30)

y = $720

And

Number of days of camp could someone attend with a budget of $530⇒

530 = 24x

x = 22.08

Since day could not be a decimal quantity so it will be 22.

Hence "The charge for 30 days will be $720 and for 22 numbers of days of people can attend the camp".

Please walk me through how to do this so I can di the other questions​
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Axis is a vertical line at x = 2

Vertex is (2, -1)

y-intercept is (0, 3)

Solutions are x = 1 and x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw the graph of the quadratic equation you must find at least 5 points lie on the graph by choose values of x and find their values of y

Let us do that

Use x = -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

∵ y = x² - 4x + 3

∵ x = -1

∴ y = (-1)² - 4(-1) + 3 = 1 + 4 + 3 = 8

→ Plot point (-1, 8)

∵ x = 0

∴ y = (0)² - 4(0) + 3 = 0 + 0 + 3 = 3

→ Plot point (0, 3)

∵ x = 1

∴ y = (1)² - 4(1) + 3 = 1 - 4 + 3 = 0

→ Plot point (1, 0)

∵ x = 2

∴ y = (2)² - 4(2) + 3 = 4 - 8 + 3 = -1

→ Plot point (2, -1)

∵ x = 3

∴ y = (3)² - 4(3) + 3 = 9 - 12 + 3 = 0

→ Plot point (3, 0)

∵ x = 4

∴ y = (4)² - 4(4) + 3 = 16 - 16 + 3 = 3

→ Plot point (4, 3)

∵ x = 5

∴ y = (5)² - 4(5) + 3 = 25 - 20 + 3 = 8

→ Plot point (5, 8)

→ Join all the points to form the parabola

From the graph

∵ The axis of symmetry is the vertical line passes through the vertex point

∵ x-coordinate of the vertex point is 2

∴ Axis is a vertical line at x = 2

∵ The coordinates of the vertex point of the parabola are (2, -1)

∴ Vertex is (2, -1)

∵ The parabola intersects the y-axis at point (0, 3)

∴ y-intercept is (0, 3)

∵ x² - 4x + 3 = 0

∵ The solutions of the equation are the values of x at y = 0

→ That means the intersection points of the parabola and the x-axis

∵ The parabola intersects the x-axis at points (1, 0) and (3, 0)

∴ Solutions are x = 1 and x = 3
