The absolute value 
returns the "positive version" of a number.
In other words, if the number is positive, it remains positive; if the number is negative, it changes sign.
So, if we want 
, we want the "positive version" of x to be 9.
This can happen in two ways: if x is already 9, then its absolute value is still nine. If instead x=-9, its positive value will be 9 again.
In formula, we have
because
1. 12 mph, 24 miles
2. m=4, y=22
3.15/1, $1500
4. x=30 y=60, k cheaper, j cheaper
Answer:
The inverse is y = x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation of a straight line is;
y = mx + c
In this case , the y-intercept is -5
So the partial equation is;
y = mx - 5
To get m, we use the x-intercept
The x-intercept coordinate is (5,0)
Insert this in the equation , we have;
0 = 5m-5
5m = 5
m = 5/5
m= 1
The equation of the line is thus;
y = x-5
So we want to find the inverse of this;
Replace x with d
y = d-5
Make d the subject of the formula
d = y + 5
replace d with x
x = y + 5
now replace x with y
So we have
y = x + 5
It looks like it goes through (0,-3) and (1,2), so the gradient is (change in y)/(change in x) ->
(-3-2)/(0-1) = 5
So y=5x+b
Then as we know it passes the y axis at (0,-3) so b= -3
So we have y=5x-3
Answer:
y < 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the line is dotted, it will be either greater than or less than depending on if it is shaded above or below. It's "y" because the line crosses the y axis, not the x axis.
