<u>Answer</u>
-4x - 2
<u>Explanation</u>
To get the function needed, first calculate the slope of the graph.
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
= (2 - -2)/(-1 - 0)
= 4/-1
= -4
Now use one of the point (-1, 2) in the graph and a general point (x,y) to find the function.
-4 = (y - 2)/(x - -1)
-4(x + 1) = y - 2
-4x - 4 = y - 2
y = -4x - 4 + 2
= -4x - 2
∴ f(x) = -4x - 2
5 1/2 ft equals 66 inches
One way in which to approach this problem would be to treat it as an equation of ratios and to cross multiply:
<span>[(4x + 15) / 5x)] = 1/2 could be written as:
4x + 15 1
----------- = ---
5x 2
Then 8x + 30 = 5x
3x = -30, and so x = -10 (answer). Be certain to check this answer through substitution!
