The pattern of a linear function, is the following:
y = mx + b
Where m is always the slope.
m in this case is -4, hence
The correct answer for your question is -4.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the equation, you need to set both functions equal to each other and simplify to find the value of "x".
f(x) = 2x + 1
g(x) = -x + 7
f(x) = g(x) <----- Given equation
2x + 1 = -x + 7 <----- Insert functions
3x + 1 = 7 <----- Add "x" to both sides
3x = 6 <----- Subtract 1 from both sides
x = 2 <----- Divide both sides by 3
