Answer:
f(x) = 0.5x + 2
f(x) = 1/2x + 2
y - 3 = 1/2(x - 2)
y - 1 = 0.5(x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached, the graphed line is shown.
The missing options are:
<em>f(x) = 0.2x - 4 </em>
<em>f(x) = 0.5x + 2 </em>
<em> f(x) = 1/2x + 2 </em>
<em> y – 3 = 1/2(x – 2) </em>
<em> y – 1 = 0.5(x + 2)</em>
From the picture, we can see that points (0, 2) and (2, 3) are on the line. Then, the slope of the line is:
m = (3 - 2)/(2 - 0) = 1/2 = 0.5
The y-intercept is (0, 2), or b = 2
Therefore, in the slope y-intercept form, the equation is:
f(x) = mx + b
f(x) = 1/2x + 2 = 0.5x + 2
In the point-slope form, the equations is:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 3 = 1/2(x - 2)
Using point (-2, 1), in the point-slope form, the equation is:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 1 = 0.5(x + 2)
By "slope" I assume you mean slope of the tangent line to the parabola.
For any given value of <em>x</em>, the slope of the tangent to the parabola is equal to the derivative of <em>y</em> :
The slope at <em>x</em> = 1 is 5:
The slope at <em>x</em> = -1 is -11:
We can already solve for <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> :
Finally, the parabola passes through the point (2, 18); that is, the quadratic takes on a value of 18 when <em>x</em> = 2:
So the parabola has equation
