Find the slope of the line segment that joints the points A(2, -8) and B(-1, 16)

1 answer:

8 0

We need to use the Point slope formula to find the slope so we label
(2 , -8);(-1 , 16) subtract
x1 y1 x2 y2. y2-y1/x2-x1
16-(-8)/-1-2 = 24/-3 = -8
meaning the slope of this line is (-8)

Let f(x)=3x-6. Is f one-to-one? If it is find f^-1, if not explain why.

Answer: Yes, $\bold{f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x+6}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x - 6 is a line so it is a function because

it passes the vertical line test

and the horizontal line test

To find the inverse, swap the x's and y's and solve for y

$y=3x-6\\\\\\\text{Swap the x's and y's:}\qquad x=3y-6\\\\\text{Add 6 to both sides:}\qquad x+6=3y\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 3:}\qquad \dfrac{x+6}{3}=y$
