Answer: y = 3x + 1
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The equation is in Slope-Intercept format: y = mx + b where
- m is the slope <em>(difference in y's over difference in x's)</em>
- b is the y-intercept <em>(value of y when x = 0)</em>
b = 1 <em>refer to the table that shows y = 1 when x = 0</em>
Now input m = 3 and b = 1 into the Slope-Intercept formula:
y = 3x + 1
1. Cross multiply
35x = 5(11)
35x = 55
Divide both sides by 35
x = 55/35
x = 11/7
2. (x - 2)/x = 3/8
Cross multiply
3x = 8(x - 2)
3x = 8x - 16
Subtract 8x from both sides
-5x = -16
divide both sides by -5
x = -16/-5
x = 16/5 OR 3 1/5
3. (a + 1)/(a - 1) = 5/6
cross multiply
6(a + 1) = 5(a - 1)
distribute
6a + 6 = 5a - 5
subtract 5a from both sides
a + 6 = -5
subtract 6 from both sides
a = -11
4. (1/3)x - 4 = (2/3)x + 6
multiply each term by 3 to clear the fractions
x - 12 = 2x + 18
subtract x from both sides
-12 = x + 18
subtract 18 from both sides
-30 = x
Answer:
The first set of ordered pairs is a function, because no two ordered pairs have the same first coordinates with different second coordinates. The second example is not a function, because it contains the ordered pairs (1,2) and (1,5).
Hope this helps you with your question.
