8 because 18+14 =32 then divide 32 by 2. Then 18-14= 4 then multiply that by 2 and you get 8. 16 -8 = 8

What is the slope of the line represented by the points in the table shown below?
Finger [1]

Answer:  Slope of the line formed by the data is -3.  

m=-3    for    y=mx+b.

Step-by-step explanation:  The slope is the change in y (the rise) divided by the change in x (the run) between two points on the line.  I'll pick 2 points:  (-4,17) and (9,-22).  Any two points will work, if it is a straight line.  For these points, y, the rise, changes from 17 to -22, for a net change of (-22 - 17) = -39 for y.  x, the run, goes from -4 to 9, for a change in x of (9 - (-4)) = 13.

The rise(y) over the run(x) for these points is thus (-39/13) = -3

The slope is -3

If f(x) and g(x) are quadratic functions but (f + g)(x) produces the graph below, which statement must be true? On a coordinate
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

You did not write the options, but let's solve it in a general way.

f(x) and g(x) are quadratic functions, this means that:

f(x) = a*x^2 + b*x + c

g(x) = d*x^2 + e*x + f

now, (g + f)(x) is a linear function that goes trough the points (-3, 4), (0,1 ) and (1,0)

(g + f)(x) = s*x + k

We can find the slope of this linear function as:

S = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

i will use the first two points.

S = (1 - 4)/(0 - (-3) = -3/3 = -1

so we have: ( f + h)(x) = -1*x + k

and we can find k using one of the points, for example (0, 1)

1 = -1*0 + k

b = 1.

so we have: (f + g)(x) = -1*x + 1.

Now, (f+g)(x) = (a + d)*x^2 + (b + e)*x + (c + f) = -1*x + 1.

So we must have that:

a = -d

b + e = -1

c + f = 1.
