The easiest way is to graph it based upon the slope (m) and y-intercept (b), in the standard slope-intercept form: y = m (x) + b.
The line above intercepts the y-axis at y = -2, which is b. The slope (m) = rise/run = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1 ); so for the point (-4, 2) to (-6, 4) is:
(4-2)/(-6--4) = 2/(-6+4) = 2/-2 = -1.
So one form of the equation would be:
y = -1x - 2
Now the other form of an equation is point-slope: y-k = m (x-h), where the point is at (h, k)
and if we pick -5 for x (bc 5 it listed in 3 of the answers), the y at x=-5 looks like around +3
so we get: y-k = -1 (x--5)...
y-3 = -(x+5)... therefore D) is the correct answer:
Answer: +/- 7
Step-by-step explanation:
3x² = 147
To solve for x divide through by three first.
3x² = 147
x² = 49, now we take the square root of both side by trying to apply laws of indices.
√x² = √49
The square root will neutralize the effect of the square because
√a = a¹/² so (x²)¹/², and (x²)¹/² =
x²×¹/² = x, therefore the solution is
x = +/- 7.
I think it is 2.5 but not sure correct me if i am wrong
