Answer:

b is the coefficient of the middle term. In this case, -5

Step-by-step explanation:

In a linear equation, the function is in the form of y=mx+b  

In a linear equation <u>m</u> is the slope. <u>b</u> is a constant, and it is the y-intercept.

f(x) represents the "y" value obtained when a given number is plugged in to x.

In a quadratic equation, (and it would be helpful to insert a carat ^ [shift + 6] before the exponent so it is clear)

the form is ax^{2} +bx +c  a and b are the coefficients. if none, "1" is understood.

the exponent will determine the shape of the parabola.

The b will determine how far to the left or right the parent graph is transformed. ( divide by 2 and use the opposite sign)

but the c is a constant and still indicates the y-intercept.

A quadratic function is represented as ax² + bx + c. In this case, if you look at the coefficient of x, you'll see that b = -5.

What is the answer to the question
S_A_V [24]

The equation of the parallel line is y = –2x – 11.

Solution:

Given equation of the line is y = –2x – 5.

Slope of this line is (m_1) = –2

To write the equation parallel to this line and passes through (–4, –3).

<em>If two lines are parallel, then they have the same slope.</em>

\Rightarrow m_1=m_2

\Rightarrow m_2 =-2

<u>Point-slope formula:</u>

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Substitute the given values in the formula, we get

y-(-3)=-2(x-(-4))

y+3=-2(x+4)

y+3=-2x-8

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

y+3-3=-2x-8-3

y=-2x-11

Hence the equation of the parallel line is y = –2x – 11.

Plzz help solve the given equation and show your work. Tell whether it has one solution, an infinite number of solutions, or no
zloy xaker [14]

Answers:

<h3>x = 3</h3><h3>One solution</h3><h3>Identity</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

In algebra, the goal is always to isolate the variable, so that its value can be determined.

<h3>Step 1: Use distributive property to remove parentheses</h3>

2x + 4x - 4 = 2 + 4x

<h3>Step 2: Add like terms</h3>

6x - 4 = 2 + 4x

<h3>Step 3: Subtract 4x</h3>

We need all variables on one side to solve, so subtract 4x from both sides.

2x - 4 = 2

<h3>Step 4: Add 4</h3>

2x = 6

<h3>Step 5: Divide by 2</h3>

x = 3

<h3>Step 6: Check</h3>

2(3) + 4(3) - 4 = 2 + 4(3)

6 + 12 - 4 = 2 + 12

14 = 14 ✔

<h3>Step 7: How many solutions?</h3>

The given equation has only one solution.

<h3>Step 8: Identity, a contradiction or neither?</h3>

The given equation is an identity.

<h3>Step 9: Answers</h3>

x = 3

One solution

Identity

What is the value of x?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Altitude on Hypotenuse theorem

( leg of large Δ )² = (part of hypotenuse below it ) × ( whole hypotenuse )

Thus

x² = 9 × (9 + 16) = 9 × 25 = 225 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{225} = 15
