Answer:

This is a simple slope intercept form equation: y=ax+b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept, but in this problem the y-intercept is 0 so it is no shown.

The line on the graph would be negative (downward) because of the negative and would be going down by a slope of -5.

-down 5 over 1 ( rise over run )

Solve the formula for one of its variables using addition subtraction and/ or division

Sati [7]

One way of doing this would be to look at the πr² as if it were a single term. Then we could divide both sides by πr², which leaves h = V/πr².

The diameter of a circle is 17 cm. Find the circumference \textit{to the nearest tenth}to the nearest tenth.

aev [14]

Answer:

52.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

Radius, r = diameter / 2

= 17 cm / 2

= 8.5 cm

π = 3.14

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

= 2 × 3.14 × 8.5

= 53.38 cm

Approximately 52.4 cm

The function f is linear. If f(2) = 2 and f(-6)=6 find f(6)

lina2011 [118]

$The\ slope-intercept\ form:y=mx+b\\\\f(2)=2\to for\ x=2\to y=2\\f(-6)=6\to for x=-6\to y=6\\\\put\ in\ equation\ of\ the\ line:\\\\ -\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2=2m+b\\6=-6m+b\end{array}\right\ \ \ |subtract\ sides\ of\ the\ equations\\----------\\.\ \ \ -4=8m\ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 8\\.\ \ \ \ \boxed{m=-\frac{1}{2}}\\\\put\ m=-\frac{1}{2}\ to\ equation\ 2=2m+b:\\\\2=2\cdot(-\frac{1}{2})+b\\2=-1+b\ \ \ \ |add\ 1\ to\ both\ sides\\\boxed{b=3}\\\\\boxed{\boxed{y=-\frac{1}{2}x+3}}$

$therefore:f(x)=-\frac{1}{2}x+3\Rightarrow f(6)=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot6+3=-3+3=0\\\\Answer:\boxed{f(6)=0}$
