Answer:

y=-2x + 8 which is the required equation

Which is option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Slope = m = -2

Given points are ( -2,12)

Which is

x = -2 and y =12

TO find:

Equation of line passing through these points = ?

Solution:

The point slope form of a line is

y = mx + c

Here we don't know the value of c

To find it

Putting y = 12 , x= -2 and y = -2 in the given equation

y = mx + c

Putting values it becomes

12 = (-2)*(-2) + c

12 = 4 + c

Subtracting 4 from both sides

12-4 = 4 -4 + c

8 = c

Now we have

m = -2 and c= 8

So equation of a line is given by

y = mx + c

Putting value of m and c

y = -2*x + 8

y=-2x + 8 which is the required equation

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

slope : m

pass through the point : ( a , b )

then you can write down the equation :

y - b = m ( x - a )

from the question

the equation is

y - 12 = -2 ( x - ( - 2 ) )

y - 12 = -2 ( x + 2 )

y - 12 = -2x - 4

y = -2x +8

3. Six less than twice a number is 17. Which equation could be used to determine the
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

n represents our number. So, twice a number would be 2n because twice means multiply by two.

When the problem says 6 less, then it means 6 less than 2n. So, it would look like 2n-6.

FInally, the problem says that all of this equals 17 so 17 would be the result.

So, you answer is 2n-6 = 17. This is answer choice B.

Which piece wise function is graphed below
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is how to approach the problem:

We see that all our restrictions for all four answer choices are relatively the same with a couple of changes here and there.
One way to eliminate choices would be to look at which restrictions don't match the graph.

At x<-5, there is a linear function that does have a -2 slope and will intersect the x axis at -7. The line ends with an open circle, so any answer choice with a linear restriction of x less than or equal to -5 is wrong. This cancels out choices C and D.

Now we have two choices left.

For the quadratic in the middle, the vertex is at (-2,6) and the vertex is a maximum, meaning our graph needs to have a negative sign in front of the highest degree term. In our case, none of our quadratics left are in standard form, and instead are in vertex form.

Vertext form is f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k.

h being the x-coordinate of the vertex and k being the y-coordinate.

We know that the opposite of h will be the actual x-coordinate of the vertex, so if our vertex is -2, we will see x+2 inside the parenthesis. This leaves option A as the only correct choice.

I need help with this math problem
boyakko [2]
Consider the right triangle HBF. The Pythagorean theorem tells you ...
   HF² = HB² + BF²

The lengths HB and BF can be determined by counting grid squares, or by subtracting coordinates. Here, it is fairly convenient to count grid squares. When we do that, we find ...
   HB = 2
   BF = 5
Using these values in the equation above, we get
   HF² = 2² + 5²
   HF² = 4 + 25 = 29
Taking the square root gives the length HF.
   HF = √29

The value of a stock increases at a rate of 1/2% per year. If the initial value of the stock $40 a share, when will the value of
natka813 [3]

Answer:

After 50 years the stock value will be $50 per share.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest Equation (Principal + Interest)

A = P(1 + rt)

Where:

A = Future amont = $50

P = Principal Amount = $40

r = Rate of Interest per year in decimal; r = R/100 = 0.5/100 = 0.005

t = Time Period involved in months or years  

Plug in the values

50 = 40(1 + 0.005t)

50 / 40 = (1 + 0.005t)

5/4 = 1 + 0.005t

5/4 - 1 = 0.005t

0.25 = 0.005t

t = 0.25 / 0.005

t = 50 years
