y=mx+c is the equation for a line graph, m is the gradient and c is where it goes through the y axis, the only difference between y=mx+c and y=mx+b is where u live as in different countries learn it different ways but it is still the same thing

What does (f(x)) mean in math for a input and output graph?
shtirl [24]

In maths, f (x) means as a special relationship where every single input has one output.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

In mathematics, a function is any expression that gives exactly one answer for each particular number. Input is the number provided in the expression, and output is the number obtained from the search or calculation.

In an ordered pair, input’s first number corresponds to the horizontal axis, and output’s second number in the vertical axis. These ordered pairs can then be plotted. Some data on the costs associated with this are called relationships. For example,

             f(x)=x^{2}

It is often written as "f (x)" where x is the input value and x^{2} is the output value.

Which is a simplified form of the expression -4(3r – 2) – 2(r + 1)?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

2 (3 - 7 r)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-4 (3 r - 2) - 2 (r + 1)

-4 (3 r - 2) = 8 - 12 r:

8 - 12 r - 2 (r + 1)

-2 (r + 1) = -2 r - 2:

-12 r + -2 r - 2 + 8

Grouping like terms, -2 r - 12 r - 2 + 8 = (8 - 2) + (-12 r - 2 r):

(8 - 2) + (-12 r - 2 r)

-12 r - 2 r = -14 r:

-14 r + (8 - 2)

8 - 2 = 6:

6 - 14 r

Factor 2 out of 6 - 14 r:

Answer: 2 (3 - 7 r)

*not drown to scale
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

26.9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

2x Pythagorean theorem

First we find the length of AC with ABC. AC is the hypotenuse of triangle ABC.

AC = sqrt(7^2+24^2) = sqrt625 = 25.

Now, AD is the hypotenuse of ACD. So AD = sqrt(25^2+10^2) = sqrt(725) = 26.925824 which is about 26.9 inches.

A circle representing a pool is graphed with a center at the origin. Grant enters the pool at point A and swims over to a friend
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The equation of Grant's path is y = 4 - x over 2 ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where

  • m is the slope of the line
  • b is the y-intercept (value y at x = 0)

The formula of the slope of a line is m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

∵ Grant's path is a line from point A to point B

∴ The equation of AB represents Grant's path

Lets find the slope of AB using the formula of the slope above

∵ A = (8 , 0)

∵ B = (-4 , 6)

∴ x_{1} = 8 and x_{2} = -4

∴ y_{1} = 0 and y_{2} = 6

∵ m=\frac{6-0}{-4-8}=\frac{6}{-12}

∴ m=-\frac{1}{2}

Substitute the value of m in the form of the equation

∵ y = m x  + b

∴ y = -\frac{1}{2} x + b

∵ b is the value of y at x = 0

∵ y = 4 at x = 0 ⇒ from the figure

∴ b = 4

∴ y = -\frac{1}{2} x + 4

We can write -\frac{1}{2} x as -\frac{x}{2}

∴ y =  -\frac{x}{2} + 4

- Switch the two terms of the right hand side

∴ y = 4 -  \frac{x}{2}

The equation of Grant's path is y = 4 -  \frac{x}{2}
