Evaluate the expression below when x = -2. x2 − 8 x + 6

1 answer:

3 0

First, substitute -2 into each equation where there is an <span>x:
</span>(-2)2 -8<span>
</span>(-2) +6

Then multiply the -2 and the 2 in the first equation and add -2 and 6 in the second:
-4 -8
4

Lastly, subtract -4 and 8:
-12
4

Now you have you answers -12 and 4!

What is an equation for the linear function whose graph contains the points (−1, −2) and (3, 10)

sladkih [1.3K]

The equation of a line starting from two points is:
$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \cdot (x-x_1)$

From the first point you get: x1 = -1, y1 = -2
From the second point you get: x2 = 3, y2 = 10

Replace x1, y1, x2, y2 in the equation of the line and you get:
$y+2=\frac{10+2}{3+1} \cdot (x+1)$
$y+2=\frac{12}{4} \cdot (x+1)$
$y+2=3 \cdot (x+1)$

From this you get the equation of your line:
$y(x)=3x+1$
