Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

We  are given that a rational expression

\frac{3x-6}{x-2}

We have to simplify the rational expression.

To simplify the given expression we will take out common factor in numerator .

\frac{3x-6}{x-2}=\frac{3(x-2)}{x-2}

Cancel out the same term in  numerator and denominator . Then, we get

\frac{3x-6}{x-2}=3

Hence , the rational expression

\frac{3x-6}{x-2}=3

Answer:3

Hello,

Put the 3 as a common factor.

Look:

3x - 6 = 3 . ( x - 2 )

Then,

( 3x - 6) / (x - 2) = 3 .( x - 2) / (x -2)

Now simplity ( x -2)

= 3

4) You know slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. So using these two given points, you can find the slope! 

(-8,5)  (-3,10) [Use the y1-y2 over x1-x2 formula to solve for slope]

10 - 5         5
---------   = ----- = 1 
-3-(-8)         5

Hurray! You got a slope of one. Now substitute this back into your original equation:
y=mx+b --> y=1x+b 

Next, we find what our "b" is, or what our y-intercept is:
Using one of the previous points given, substitute them into the new equation:
[I used the point (-3, 10) ]

y=1x+b
10=1(-3)+b  SUBSTITUTE 
10=-3+b     MULTIPLY
10=-3+b
+3   +3    ADD
----------
13=b     SIMPLIFY 

So, now we have our y-intercept. Use this and plug it into the equation:
y=1x+b --> y=1x+13 

y=1x+13 is our final answer.



5) So for perpendicular lines, your slope will be the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. (Ex: Slope is 2, but perpendicular slope is -1/2) 

We have the equation y= 3x-1, so find the reciprocal slope! 
--> y=-1/3x-1 

Good! Now we take our given point, (9, -4) and plug it into the new equation:

y=-1/3x-1
-4=-1/3(9)+b   SUBSTITUTE and revert "-1" to "b", for we are trying to find the y-     -4=-3+b          intercept of our perpendicular equation. 
+3   +3            ADD
--------
-1=b    SIMPLIFY 

So, our final answer is y=-1/3x+(-1)

6) I don't know, sorry! :(

Given the endpoint A(1, 3) and the midpoint C(6, 2), find the other endpoint B(x, y).
Tpy6a [65]

Right away we know we don't have fractions; the midpoint is the average of the coordinates, so if it and one endpoint are integers so is the other endpoint.

We can do a kind of point arithmetic:

C = (A+B)/2

2C = A+B

B = 2C - A

B = 2(6,1) - (1,3) = (12,2)-(1,3)=(11,-1)

Answer: That's none of the above, but a typo away from the first choice.

If g(x) =3/2 x +4, what is the value of g(2)?
Otrada [13]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = 3/2 x + 4

g(2) = 3/2 * 2 + 4

g(2) = 3 +4

g(2) = 7
