Answer:

46 and 68

Step-by-step explanation:

so let the first number=x

the second number= 2x-24 since 24 less than twice the first number

then

2x-24+x=114

simplify

3x=114+24

3x=138

x=46

2x-24= 68

Write the linear function for the given function values.<br> f(-2)=9 and f(6)=7

BigorU [14]

Answer:

$y = -\frac14x + 8.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

A linear function is written in the form of $y = mx + b$ , where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Each of these expressions can be converted to coordinate form, (-2,9) and (6,7).

<h2>Slope</h2>

Slope can be calculated by the difference in the x-values divided by the difference in the y-values.

Solve

$\frac{9 - 6}{-2 - 6}$
$\frac{2}{-8}$
$-\frac14$

The slope is -1/4.

<h2 /><h2>Y-intercept</h2>

The y-intercept is found by plugging in the x and y values of a coordinate and the slope and then solving for b.

Solve

$y = mx + b$
$9 = -\frac14(-2) + b$
$9 = 0.5 + b$
$8.5 = b$

<h2>Equation</h2>

We can find the equation by simply plugging in all the values that we found.

Equation: $y = -\frac14x + 8.5$

The minimum number of rigid transformations required to show that polygon ABCDE is congruent to polygon FGHIJ is 1 2 3 4 . A rot

I found the corresponding image. Pls. see attachment.

<span>The minimum number of rigid transformations required to show that polygon ABCDE is congruent to polygon FGHIJ is 2 (translation and rotation).

A rotation translation must be used to make the two polygons coincide.

A sequence of transformations of polygon ABCDE such that ABCDE does not coincide with polygon FGHIJ is a translation 2 units down and a 90° counterclockwise rotation about point D </span>
