<u>Given</u>:

The given graph passes through the points (-3,4) and (3,2)

The x - axis represents the years. The value x = 5, year 2015.

We need to determine the y - value for 2010.

<u>Slope</u>:

The slope of the line can be determined using the formula,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substituting the points (-3,2) and (3,2), we get;

m=\frac{2-4}{3+3}

m=\frac{-1}{3}

Thus, the slope of the line is m=\frac{-1}{3}

<u>y - intercept:</u>

The y - intercept in the graph is the point in the line that crosses the y - axis.

Thus, from the graph, it is obvious that the y - intercept is b = 3.

<u>Equation of the line:</u>

The equation of the line can be determined using the formula,

y=mx+b

Substituting the values, we have;

y=-\frac{1}{3}x+3

Thus, the equation of the line is y=-\frac{1}{3}x+3

<u>The y - value for 2010:</u>

Since, it is given that x = 5 represents 2015 and 2010 is 5 years before 2010.

Hence, the value of x for 2010 is given by

x=5-5=0

Thus, x = 0 represents the year 2010.

To determine the y - value, let us substitute x = 0 in the equation y=-\frac{1}{3}x+3, we have;

y=-\frac{1}{3}(0)+3

y=3

Thus, for 2010 the value of y is 3.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

I believe the equation your looking for is 45+x=180!

Step-by-step explanation:

The total degrees your are going to get is 180°. You already know one angle which is 45°. So you would do 180-45 to solve the equation and find the unknown angle! Hope that helped

Question 3 of 10 * - 3 is a factor of P(x) =*? – 73? + 158-9 O A. True O B. False
Elina [12.6K]

Given,

The expression is,

P(x)=x^3-7x^2+15x-9

If x- 3 is the factor of the given polynomial function, then on substituting the value of x = 3 in the polynomial function, it become zero.

Thus subsituting the value of x in the polynomial,

\begin{gathered} P(3)=3^3-7\times3^2+15\times3-9 \\ =27-7\times9+45-9 \\ =27+45-63-9 \\ =72-72 \\ =0 \end{gathered}

Here, the obtained value of polynomial is 0.

Hence, x-3 is a factor of the given polynomial.

Thus, option A(true) is correct.
