I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
Answer: 2

Answer:
3.25 L
Step-by-step explanation:
1L=1000mL
3250ml x1L/1000mL = 3.25L
Answer:
The function is defined when x > 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Functions with radicals are only undefined when the value in the radical is negative, because the root of a negative number is imaginary.
We know the function is undefined when the denominator is equal to zero.
is equal to zero when x=0.
We also know that functions with radicals are undefined when the value in the radicals are negative, because the root of a negative number is imaginary. .
will always be positive, but
is negative when x < 0.
So the function is undefined when x = 0, and when x < 0.
Therefore it is defined when x > 0
Basically, the higher the price an item is the more you will be taking off of it if it is 10 percent off. For example, at $50, 10 percent off is $5, but at $55, it’s $5.50. There is more to take away, making the final price less than the original. Hope that make sense!
