Write an equation for a linear function f that has the given values: f(-3) = 2 and f(1) = 0

1 answer:

7 0

A linear function can be written in this form:

y - y2 = m(x - x2)

f(-3) = 2
f(-3) is saying that some function had the number -3 put in for the value of x. The output was a value of 2. Which is our y. So we have a coordinate point of:
(-3, 2)

Same thing with f(1) = 0

(1,0)

Now we need to find the slope, m.

(2 - 0) / (-3 - 1) = 2 / -4 = -1/2

So an equation for the linear function f is this:
y - 2 = -1/2(x + 3)

(Note that the -3 we subbed in has become a positive 3 because the equation called for a negative. And two negatives become a positive)

weqwewe [10]

Complete Question:

The deck that Amos is building is in the shape of a parallelogram, DGRY. The measure of D is five-halves the measure of Y. Find the measure of each angle of the deck.

Answer:

$\angle G = \angle Y = 51.43 ^{\circ}$

$\angle D = \angle R = 128.57 ^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Parallelogram DGRY

Dimension: $\angle D = \frac{5}{2}\angle Y$

Required

Find the measure of each angle

D and R are opposite sides & G and Y are also opposite sides.

So, we have:

$\angle D = \angle R = \frac{5}{2}\angle Y$

and

$\angle G = \angle Y$

The sum of angles is given as:

$\angle D + \angle G + \angle R + \angle Y=360^{\circ}$

Substitute values for $\angle D, \angle G \ \& \angle R$

$\frac{5}{2}\angle Y + \frac{5}{2}\angle Y + \angle Y + \angle Y = 360^{\circ}$

Take LCM

$\frac{5\angle Y + 5\angle Y + 2\angle Y+ 2\angle Y}{2}= 360^{\circ}$

$\frac{14\angle Y}{2}= 360^{\circ}$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{2}{14}$

$\frac{2}{14} * \frac{14\angle Y}{2}= 360^{\circ} * \frac{2}{14}$

$\angle Y= 360^{\circ} * \frac{2}{14}$

$\angle Y= \frac{ 360^{\circ} *2}{14}$

$\angle Y= \frac{720^{\circ}}{14}$

$\angle Y= 51.43 ^{\circ}$

So:

$\angle G = \angle Y = 51.43 ^{\circ}$

$\angle D = \frac{5}{2}\angle Y$

$\angle D = \frac{5}{2} * 51.43^{\circ}$

$\angle D = \frac{5* 51.43^{\circ}}{2}$

$\angle D = \frac{257.15^{\circ}}{2}$

$\angle D = 128.57 ^{\circ}$

Hence:

$\angle D = \angle R = 128.57 ^{\circ}$

Given below are descriptions of two lines.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Line 1 is 1/3

Line 2 is 1/3 as well

Choice 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rise over run

Line 1:

$\frac{(7)-(3)}{(6)-(-6)}$

$\frac{4}{12}$

Simplify:

1/3

Line 2:

$\frac{(2)-(1)}{(-3)-(-6)}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

1/3

1 is Paralell to 2 because they have the same slope

I hope this helps! :D

Pls give thx and brainliest if i’m right!

Juan invest $3700 in a simple interest account at a rate of 4% for 15 years

OleMash [197]

Question:

Juan Invest $3700 In A Simple Interest Account At A Rate Of 4% For 15 Years. How Much Money Will Be In The Account After 15 Years?

Answer:

There will be $ 5920 in account after 15 years

Solution:

The simple interest is given by formula:

$S.I = \frac{p \times n \times r }{100}$

Where,

p is the principal

n is number of years

r is rate of interest

From given,

p = 3700

r = 4 %

t = 15 years

Therefore,

$S.I = \frac{3700 \times 4 \times 15 }{100}\\\\S.I = 37 \times 4 \times 15\\\\S.I = 2220$

How Much Money Will Be In The Account After 15 Years?

Total money = principal + simple interest

Total money = 3700 + 2220

Total money = 5920

Thus there will be $ 5920 in account after 15 years

BRAINLIEST ASAP!!!!!!! why is it useful to factor out the gcf first when factoring

Lelu [443]

By pulling out the common factors for each pair of terms, we can rewrite the original polynomial like this:
3x(2x + 1) + 10(2x + 1)
These two terms now have a common factor of (2x + 1). Seems like we should be able to do something with that information, don't you think? In fact, we can pull out this common factor and rewrite the polynomial again:

jeds market has a total of 26 employees. Each full time employee makes $275/ week, and each part-time employee makes $140/ week.

ollegr [7]

The number of full time employees is 17 and the number of part time employee is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let f represent the number of full time employee and p represent the number of part time employee

Total number of employees = 26

Hence we have f + p = 26

Step 2 :

Wages of full time employee = $275

Wages of part time employee = $140

Total wages paid by Jeds = $ 5935

Hence we have 275 f + 140 p = 5935

Step 3:

Solving the equations obtained in step 1 and step 2 we have

f + p = 26, Multiplying by 275 = > 275 f + 275 p = 7150

275 f + 140 p = 5935

Subtracting equation 2 from 1 we have

135 p = 1215 => p = 9

Substituting this in f + p = 26 gives, f + 9 = 26

So f = 17

Step 4 :

Answer :

The number of full time employees is 17 and the number of part time employee is 9
