Answer:

f(x)=2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that:

f(1)=5 \text{ and } f(3)=9

In other words, we have 2 coordinates: (1,5) and (3,9).

With this, we can figure out the slope. Let (1,5) be x₁ and y₁ and let (3,9) be x₂ and y₂. The slope formula is:

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

Substitute:

m=\frac{9-5}{3-1}\\m=4/2=2

So, the slope is 2.

Now, use the point-slope form to figure out the y-intercept. The point-slope form is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

For consistency, let's continue to use (1,5) as x₁ and y₁. Now, we can use 2 as m. Thus:

y-(5)=2(x-1)

Distribute:

y-5=2x-2

Add 5 to both sides:

y=2x+3

So:

f(x)=2x+3

And that's our equation :)

How do you do inequalities
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Summary Many simple inequalities can be solved by adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing both sides until you are left with the variable on its own. But these things will change direction of the inequality: Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number. Swapping left and right hand sides

Answer:

The answer would be A/B=H

Step-by-step explanation:

To get rid of the B that is connected to the H, you would do the opposite of what they used. Meaning since the two were multiplied you would divide them. So, you would take your b and divide it on both sides of the equal sign. B and B cancels each other out so you are left with A/B which equals H.
