The graphed line is y = 1/3x + 2

In order to solve for this, we need to start by finding the slope. To find the slope, we start by selecting two points on the graph. We'll use (0, 2) and (6, 4).

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4 - 2)/(6 - 0)

m = 2/6

m = 1/3

Now that we have this, we can use a point and slope intercept form to find the intercept.

y = mx + b

4 = (1/3)(6) + b

4 = 2 + b

2 = b

And we can use the slope and intercept to model the equation as y = 1/3x + 2

How do you solve 2+x=-7

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

2 + x = -7

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

Subtract 2 on both sides: x = -9

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

Substitute: 2 - 9 = -7
Subtract: -7 = -7

What is the probability that a randomly selected person surveyed has a job, given that the person is less than 18 years old? Exp

weeeeeb [17]

When the person is less than 18 years old, out of 265 persons, 20 has job and 245 do not have job.

The probability is defined as $\frac{no\;of \; favourable \;outcomes}{total\;number\;of\;outcomes}$ .

Consider the first column only.

The probability that a randomly selected person surveyed has job is

$\frac{20}{20+245} =0.0755$

If f(x) and its inverse function, fx), are both plotted on the same coordinate plane, what is their point of intersection?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: (3, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

the graphs of $f$ and $f^{-1$ are flipped: if the point $(x, y)$ is on the graph of $f$ , then the point $(y, x)$ is on the graph of $f^{-1$ .

Any points of intersection will satisfy $(x, y) = (y, x)$ . A point that satisfies this property must have the same x and y coordinate. (Think about it.) The only point on $f$ like that is $(3, 3)$ , so that is the point of intersection.
