Answer:

the equation of this line is y = (-1/4)x + 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we go from (−1, 2) to (3, 1), x increases by 4 and y decreases by 1.  Thus, the slope of the line connecting these points is m = rise / run = -1/4.

Find the equation of this line in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.  Substitute 1 for y and 3 for x and calculate b:  

1 = (-1/4)(3) + b, or

4/4 = -3/4 + b, or

7/4 = b.

Then the equation of this line is y = (-1/4)x + 7/4.

You did not provide us with equations to select.

Find the slope m.

m = (1 - 2)/(3 - (-1))

m = -1/(3 + 1)

m = -1/4

Use the slope and one of the points and plug into the point-slope formula.

y - 1 = (-1/4)(x - 3)

Isolate y.

y - 1 = (-1/4)x + (3/4)

y = (-1/4)x + (3/4) + 1

y = (-1/4)x + (7/4)

F(x)=x^2. What is g(x)?
Contact [7]

Answer:

Do you have options? The answer would be

g(x)=(x/3)^2

x = 1 btw

Because x = 1, if you have options then it'll most likely be g(x)=(1/3]^2

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

BC=15\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

In the right triangle ABC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

AB^2=AC^2+BC^2

substitute the given values

17^2=8^2+BC^2

solve for BC

BC^2=17^2-8^2

BC^2=225

BC=15\ units
