Answer:
The correct option is 4. Neither A nor B represents a function.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given sets of ordered pairs are
A set of ordered pairs represents a function if there exist unique outputs for all inputs. It means for each values of x there exist, a unique value of y.
In set A the value of y-coordinates are -5 and 7 at .
At x=8, there exist more than one value of y, so the set A is not a function.
In set B the value of y-coordinates are -4 and -2 at .
At x=7, there exist more than one value of y, so the set B is not a function.
Therefore neither A nor B represents a function and option 4 is correct.
Answer:
m = 4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of a line use the formula, where "m" means slope:
*You don't need to show this part on paper*
Choose which point you want to be point 1 and point 2. Remember the points are written (x, y).
Point 1: (-2, 1) x₁ = -2 y₁ = 1
Point 2: (4, 9) x₂ = 4 y₂ = 9
Substitute the coordinates into the formula:
*Show this part on paper*
Simplify
Reduce by dividing by 2
Slope
The slope of the line is 4/3
