Answer:

Option C is correct.

The equation f(x)= -\frac{1}{2}x +4 represents the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope intercept form to find the equation of line :

For any two points (x_1, y_1) and  (x_2, y_2) the equation of line is given by:

y -y _1 = m(x-x_1) ......[1] ;where m is the slope given by:

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

Consider any two points from table :

let (4, 2) and (0, 4) be any two points.

calculate slope:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{4-2}{0-4}

m = \frac{2}{-4} = -\frac{1}{2}

Now, substitute in equation [1]  we have:

y - 2 = -\frac{1}{2} (x-4)

Distributive property i.e,  a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c

y -2 = -\frac{1}{2}x +2

Add both sides 2 we get;

y -2+2 = -\frac{1}{2}x+2+2

Simplify:

y = -\frac{1}{2}x+4

Since, y= f(x)

f(x)= -\frac{1}{2}x +4

therefore, the equation f(x)= -\frac{1}{2}x +4 represents the function.

Given: NM || PO and Angle 1 is congruent To angle 3
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

i. LM || NO  (converse alternate interior angle theorem)

ii. <1 ≅ <2    (alternate interior angle theorem)

Step-by-step explanation:

Two or more lines are said to be parallel if they do not meet when extended, even till infinity.

Alternate angles are said to be equal in measure.

Given that;

<1 ≅ < 3,

Since <2 ≅ <3 (alternate interior angle theorem)

Then,

<1 ≅ <2 (transitive property)

Also,

<1 ≅ <2 (alternate interior angle theorem)

Therefore since <1 ≅ <2, thus;

LM || NO (converse alternate interior angle theorem)
