Answer:

Denote that line: y = ax + b

Line passes (-2, 7) and (2,-5):

=> -2a + b =7

=> 2a + b = -5

Add both side of above equations:

=> 2b = 2

=> b = 1

=> a = (-5 - 1)/2 = -3

=> Slope a = -3

Hope this helps!

Given f(x) = x − 7 and g(x) = x2 . Find g(f(−1)).

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$g(f(-1))$ can be found by first finding $f(-1)$ then taking that result and putting it into the function $g$ .

$f(-1)$ means we are going to take the expression $x-7$ and evaluate it for $x=-1$ :

$-1-7$

$-8$

So $f(-1)=-8$ .

So we have this so far:

$g(f(-1))=g(-8)=(-8)^2=64$ .

$g(-8)$ was found by replacing $x$ in $x^2$ with $-8$ .
