The equation used above is y-intercept form.
ex. y = mx + b
Whatever is in front of the x is your slope.
Your slope is -3
The y-intercept is changed from 2 to -4.
That means that the point that the graph crosses the y axis has been moved down by 6.
Since the slope of the line has not changed, this just means the graph of the line will be moved down by 6.
Hope this helps!
Your fortune is "When given a difficult choice, trust your gut. If you don't have one, then close your eyes and hope for the best."
You haven't told me what the question is. But I put the mouse
to my forehead, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and I could
see it shimmering in my mind's eye. It was quite fuzzy, but I think
the question is
"What score does Andrew need on the next test
in order to raise his average to 72% ?"
The whole experience drew an incredible amount of energy
out of me, and the mouse is a total wreck. So we'll just go ahead
and answer that one. I hope it's the correct question.
The average score on 4 tests is
(1/4) (the sum of all the scores) .
In order for Andrew to have a 72% average on 4 tests,
the sum of the 4 scores must be
(4) x (72%) = 288% .
Out of that total that he needs, he already has
(64% + 69% + 73%) = 206%
on the first three tests.
So in order to average 72% for all 4 tests,
he'll need to score
(288% - 206%) = 82%
on the fourth one.
Hey there!
-2<3x+1
= 3x + 1 < -2
SUBTRACT 1 to BOTH SIDES
3x + 1 - 1 < -2 + 1
CANCEL out: 1 - 1 because that gives you 0
KEEP: -2 + 1 because that helps you solve for x
-2 + 1 = -3
New EQUATION: 3x > -3
DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES
3x/3 > -3/3
CANCEL out: 3/3 because that gives you 1
KEE3 -3/3 because that helps us compare for x
-3/3 = -1
Answer to the equation: x > -1
OVERALL Answer: x > -1; It is an OPENED circle shaded to the right starting at -1 (Option A.)
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
