Answer: f(x) = - 7x/17 - 29/17

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression for the function f(x) would be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where

c represents the y intercept.

m represents the slope of the line.

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis represent

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

The line passes through (8, - 5) and (- 9, 2),

y2 = 2

y1 = - 5

x2 = - 9

x1 = 8

Slope,m = ( 2 - - 5)/(- 9 - 8) = 7/- 17 =

- 7/17

To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 8, y = - 5 and m = - 7/17 into

y = mx + c. It becomes

- 5 = - 7/17 × 8 + c

- 5 = - 56/17 + c

c = - 5 + 56/17

c = - 29/17

The equation becomes

f(x) = - 7x/17 - 29/17

Answer:

f(x)=-7/17x-29/17

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =y

(8,-5)..........x1 =8,y1=-5

(-9,2)..........x2=-9,y2 =2

m=(y2-y1) /(x2-x1)

m=(2-(-5))/(-9-8)

m=(2+5)/(-17)

m=7/(-17)

m=-7/17

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-5)=-7/17(x - 8)

y+5=-7/17x+56/17

y=-7/17x+56/17-5

y=-7/17x+56/17-85/17

y=-7/17x-29/17

f(x)=-7/17x-29/17

What is 1/2 divided by 1/3
Artemon [7]

Answer:

\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{2} ÷ \frac{1}{3}

The reciprocal of  \frac{1}{3} is 3, so finding the reciprocal will replace the division sign with a multiplication sign.

= \frac{1}{2} x 3

= \frac{3}{2} or 1\frac{1}{2} or 1.5

Số tiếp theo (next number?): 25 50 99 196 388
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 768.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is based on a specific pattern present in between the numbers in the given series -

Series = 25 50 99 196 388

to find - next number in series

let us find the relation between the initial two number:

25 - 50, here number 50 is two times of 25 or (x*2-0)

relation between 2nd and 3rd number:

50 - 99, here 99 is two times of 50 minus 1 or (x*2-1)

relation between 3rd and 4th number:

99 - 196, here 196 is two times of 99 minus 2 or (x*2-2)

relation between 4th and 5th number:

196 - 388, here 388 is the two times of 196 minus 4 or (x*2-4)

So on this pattern, the next number would be = x*2-8

388*2-8

= 768

The product of two integers is 72.one number is two less than 5 times the other
harkovskaia [24]
X*y=72
x = 5y-2

x=72/y
72/y=5y-2

72=5y^2-2y
5y^2 -2y - 72 = 0
(5y+18)(y-4)=0
y = -18/5 discard
or y = 4
4x=72
x=18

(18,4)
