Answer:

f(x) is negative and g(x) is positive

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4-x

Rewriting

f(x) = -x+4

We recognize this as

y= mx+b or the representation of a line with slope -1 and y intercept 4

f(x) is linear

g(x) as we increase x by 1 we increase g(x) by 2

The slope is 2, and the y intercept is 1

y = 2x+1

Lets check a point

(2,5)

5 = 2(2)+1

5=5 so we are correct

f(x) is negative and g(x) is positive

Answer:

f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -x + 4

Slope of f(x): -1 (negative)

Slope of g(x):

Slope: (-1 - -3)/(-1 - -2)

Slope = 2/1 = 2 (positive)

ladessa [460]

Answer:

It will take 3.214 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>It is given that, the conveyor belt transports 300 cans in 5 mins and the smaller belt transports 300 cans in 9 minutes.</em>

Thus , the speed of conveyor belt is,

= $\frac{300}{5} = 60 cans per minute$

and of smaller belt is,

= $\frac{300}{9} = \frac{100}{3} cans per minute$

Thus, when both are used together,

<em>conveyor belt will transport (60)(t) cans and smaller belt will transport $( \frac{100}{3})$ (t) cans per minute.</em>

Thus the equation becomes,

$300 = (60)(t) + (\frac{100}{3})(t) = (\frac{280}{3})(t)$

t = $\frac{(300)(3)}{280} = \frac{45}{14} = 3.214 minutes$

Doss [256]

(-1, 5) because if you plug in -1 to both equations, you should get 5 from both equations. They also cross at that point, making that the solution.
