Linear functions can be written in the form y=mx+b, where:
y is a y coordinate on the line
m is the slope of the line
x is the x coordinate on the line that corresponds with the y coordinate in the equation
b is the y-intercept of the line
So for the equation y=-10x+1:
m=-10 and b=1 so the slope of the line is -10, and the y-intercept is 1. Your answer is B.
Answer:
x=-4
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can factor x^2 -16 = 0 by recognizing that it is a difference of squares. That means we can factor the equation to (x-4)(x+4) = 0. By using the Zero Product Property we know that either (x-4) or (x+4) is equal to 0. That means that x either equals -4 or 4.
