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

1) Graph the following lines and using the graph determine several values of x for which the graph is positive (negative):
Aleksandr [31]

1) y=-0.5x-2


The graph of the above equation is attached in the attachment below.  

For all the values from negative infinity to -4, the function is positive.  

X ∈ (-∞,-4]


2) y=-1.5x+3


To find the x- intercept, plug y =0  

0=-1.5x+3


1.5x=3


x=2


x intercept = (2,0)


To find the y- intercept, plug x=0  

y=-1.5(0)+3


y=3


Y- intercept = ( 0,3)


3) y=13-x


Y- intercept = (0,13)


x- intercept = (13,0)


Area of triangle = \frac{bh}{2}


Area of triangle = \frac{13\times13}{2}


Area = \frac{169}{2} sq unit.


4) The graphs of y=-2x+7 and y=0.5x-5.5 is attached in the attachment below.  

The intersection point is ( 5,-3)


5) A = (-3,0)


B = (4,5)


C = (0,-4)


Slope of AB = \frac{5-0)}{4-(-3)} =\frac{5}{7}


Slope intercept of line y=mx+b


Where, m is the slope and b is the y- intercept.  

Plugging point A and the slope in the y- intercept to find the value of b.  

0=\frac{5(-3)}{7} +b

b=\frac{15}{7}


Equation of line AB: y=\frac{5x}{7} +\frac{15}{7}


Slope of BC = \frac{-4-5}{0-4} =\frac{9}{4}


Plug C = (0,-4)  

-4=0+b


b=-4


equation of line BC= y=\frac{9x}{4} -4


Slope of line AC = \frac{-4-0}{0--3} =\frac{-4}{3}


Equation of line AC = y=\frac{-4x}{3} -4


Y intercept of AB = (0,\frac{15}{7} )

How does the definition of the prefixes mono-,bi-, and tri- help when naming polynomials
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

They let you know the number of numbers there are/will be.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mono, being one, means there will only be one number is the equation.

Bi, being two, means there will be two numbers in the equation.

and tri, being three, means there are three numbers in the equation.
