Answer: m= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The eqution for slope is y=mx+b. So looking at the equation, -6 is your m, which is the slope, and 2 is your b, which is the y intercept,

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

In y = mx + c,

m is the slope

y = -6x + 2

m = -6

Write (2 4) and (6 16) in the form y=mx+b

Answer:

y = 3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope using the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (16-4)/(6-2)

=12/4

We then use the point slope form of a line

y-y1= m(x-x1)

y-4 = 3(x-2)

Distribute the 3

y-4= 3x-6

Add 4 to each side

y-4+4 = 3x-6+4

y = 3x-2

This is in slope intercept form

If P(x) = ax 3 + bx - 3 and P(-1)-0, then the value of P(1) is:

sergey [27]

Answer:

(a) -6

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x) = ax^3 +bx - 3

P(-1) = -a-b-3 = 0
therefore a+b=-3
P(1) = a+b-3
P(1) = -3 - 3 = -6

Soon after taking an aspirin, a patient has absorbed 320 mg of the drug. after 3 hours, only 40 mg remain. find an exponential m

Anastaziya [24]

The equation will be of the form:
$A(t)= A_{0} e^{rt}$
where A is the amount after t hours, and r is the decay constant.
To find the value of r, we plug the given values into the equation, giving:
$40=320e^{3r}$
Rearranging and taking natural logs of both sides, we get:
$ln\ 0.125=3r$
$r=\frac{ln\ 0.125}{3}=-0.693$
The required model is:
$A=A _{0} e^{-0.693t}$
