Answer: m = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) = y2 - y1/,x2 - x1 : meaning increase in y divided by increase in x . it can also be written as ∆y/∆x

y1= 1, y2 = 1, x1 = 7, x2 = -2

Substitute for those values in the equation above

m = 1 -1/-2 - 7

= 0/-9

Therefore,

m = 0

The slope of the line passing through those coordinates = 0

1.) Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth .x squared minus 21 x equals n

Part 1
We are given $x^2-21x=-4x$ . This can be rewritten as $x^2-18x=0$ .
Therefore, a=1, b=-18, c=0.
Using the quadratic formula
$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-\left(-18\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-18\right)^2-4\left(1\right)\left(0\right)}}{2\left(1\right)}$
$x=\frac{18\pm 18}{2}$

The values of x are
$x_1=\frac{18-18}{2}=0$
$x_2=\frac{18+18}{2}=18$

Part 2
Since the values of y change drastically for every equal interval of x, the function cannot be linear. Therefore, the kind of function that best suits the given pairs is a quadratic function.

Part 3.
The first equation is $y=x^2+2$ .
The second equation is $y=3x+20$ .

We have
$x^2+2=3x+20$
$x^2-3x-18=0$
Factoring, we have
$\left(x-6\right)\left(x+3\right)=0$
Equating both factors to zero.
$x_1-6=0\rightarrow x_1=6$
$x_2+3=0\rightarrow x_2=-3$

When the value of x is 6, the value of y is
$y=3\left(6\right)+20=38$

When the value of x is -3, the value of y is
$y=3\left(-3\right)+20=11$

Therefore, the solutions are (6,38) or (-3,11)

Answer:

LIMIT

The policy will pay for up to

$100,000 of damage to

another person's property.

The policy will pay only

$100 per incident for a

tow truck

DEDUCTIBLE

The policyholder must pay

the first $1,000 of repair

expenses before insurance

will pay for anything,

PREMIUM

The policy offers coverage

for a cost of $178 per month

The policyholder must

pay $500 semiannually

to the insurance provider

Step-by-step explanation:

LIMIT is the maximum amount an insurer will pay toward a covered claim

DEDUCTIBLE is the amount paid out of pocket toward a covered claim

PREMIUM is the amount paid regularly to keep the policy in force.
