y=ax+b

(-2; -2); (0;-1); (2; 0)

-1=a*0+b => b=-1

0=a*2+b

0=a*2-1

a*2=1 => a=1/2

y=x/2 -1

Answer:

y = 1/2x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the y-intercept you find where the line crosses the y axis

for the slope you need to use the equation

change of y2 - change of y1

change of x2 - change of x1

7x-2=5x+14 X=? (step by step needed)

prisoha [69]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.

$7x-2-5x=5x+14-5x$
$2x-2=14$

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

$2x-2+2=14+2$
$2x=16$

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

$2x/2=16/2$
$x=8$

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

$7(8)-2=5(8)+14$
$56-2=40+14$
$54=54$

Therefore, x = 8.

Lia has a dog and a cat. Together, the pets weigh 24 pounds. The dog weighs 2 times as much as the cat.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The dog weighs 16 pounds, while the cat weighs 8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the weight of the dog d, and the weight of the cat c.

d+c=24

d=2c

Substitute the second equation into the first:

(2c)+c=24

3c=24

c=8

d=24-8=16

Hope this helps!

Find the values of a and b such that

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

a = 1.5

b = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to solve $(x+a)^2$ and replace the result in the initial equation as:

$x^2+3x+4=(x+a)^2+b\\x^2+3x+4=x^2+2ax+a^2+b$

Then, this equality apply only if the coefficient of $x$ is equal in both sides and the constant is equal in both sides.

It means that we have two equations:

$3x=2ax\\4=a^2+b$

So, using the first equation and solving for a, we get:

$3x=2ax\\3=2a\\a=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

Finally, replacing the value of a in the second equation and solving for b, we get:

$4=a^2+b\\4=1.5^2+b\\b=4-1.5^2\\b=4-2.25\\b=1.75$
