Answer:

y=2x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the slop of the line by dividing Y2-Y1 [6-(-2) and X2-X1 [-4-(-8)], which will be two once simplified. this is the slope. the equation is then y=2x+b. then, we must find b. in order to do this, we must insert two of the points from the ordered pairs. I inserted the points from the second one [-8=2(-4)+b] 2*-4=-8. 8+6=14. b=14. We must then plug in this to the original equation, and the final one will be y=2x+14.

(Hope this helped)

Use the slope formula and slope-intercept form Y=Mx+b to find the equation.
Y=2x + 14

Fudgin [204]

If we let x as the number of years of service in the company and f(x) as the increase in the wage, the step wise function that describes the scenario is
f(x) = { 0.5, x < 3
{ 1.0, 3 ≤ x < 6
{ 1.5, 6 ≤ x < 9
{ 2.0, 9 ≤ x < 12

The point (2, 12) represents the wage increase of x < 12

Answer:

Look below

Step-by-step explanation:

So I will use an example to try and show you how to do this.

If we have $1/2 + 1/3$ , we know that we don't have like denominators. We can change this by finding one. All we need to do is multiply our denominators. So in our example, that would be $2*3=6$ . Our new denominator would be 6. So now we would have $1/6 + 1/6$ which isn't the same as our old equation. That is because we haven't multiplied our top numbers yet. To do this, we need to multiply the top number by the opposite denominator like so, $3/6+2/6$ .
