Use the equation to find the slope: m=y2-y1/x2-x1 and plug in each of the y coordinates into the numerator and each of the x coordinates in the denominator
m=-2-3/4-8
-5/-4
m=5/4
Plug in the slope and one of the ordered pairs into y=mx+b. I’ll use (8,3)
3=5/4(8)+b
3=10+b
-7=b
Equation: y=5/4x-7
Given the exponential function:

The starting point is found when x = 0.
So, let's substitute x by 0.

Answer: The starting point is (0, 1.004).
12x - 56 = y. Hope it helps! :) If you could vote my answer as the brainiest, that would be awesome! :)
Answer:
(f + g)(x) = 5x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
(f + g)(x)
= f(x) + g(x)
= 2x + 4 + 3x - 7 ← collect like terms
= 5x - 3
