Answer:
y = (2/3)x + 4 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
For reference, a linear function has an equation of y = mx + b
The first thing we're going to do is use the slope formula,
or rise over run. In this case that looks like:
(-2-4) - (8 - -1)
-2 -4 comes out to - 6, and the denominator comes out to 9.
6/9 is equal to 2/3, which is our m or slope value.
Next we want to find the b value, or our y-intercept. To do that we'll plug one of the points into the equation with our new-found slope:
4 = (2/3)-1 +b
4 = -2/3 + b
4 2/3 = b
That means our complete equation is:
y = (2/3)x + 4 2/3
OR
y = (2/3)x + 14/3 (equivalent but an improper fraction rather than a mixed fraction).
Answer:
-16
Step-by-step explanation:
k = 3
-2(3) + 5 = -1
k = 4
-2(4) + 5 = -3
k = 5
-2(5) + 5 = -5
k = 6
-2(6) + 5 = -7
(-1) + (-3) + (-5) + (-7)
= -16
Answer: If I remember correctly, the answer should be <em>y=-2(3)^x. </em>
