Given:
A table of values of a linear function.
To find:
The slope, y-intercept and equation of the function.
Solution:
Take any two points on the table.
Let the points are (-1, -3) and (0, -6).
Slope of the line:
m = -3
Slope of the function = -3
y-intercept of the function is the point where x = 0.
In the table y = -6 when x = 0
y-intercept = -6
Equation of a line:
y = mx + c
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
y = -3x + (-6)
y = -3x - 6
Equation of a function is y = -3x - 6.
Answer:
8. c. (-1, -1)
9. a. (-6, -1)
b. True
Step-by-step Explanation:
8. Given the midpoint M(2, 4), and one endpoint D(5, 7) of segment CD, the coordinate pair of the other endpoint C, can be calculated as follows:
let
Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of C
and
Solve for each:
Coordinates of endpoint C is (-1, 1)
9. a.Given segment AB, with midpoint M(-4, -5), and endpoint A(-2, -9), find endpoint B as follows:
let
and
Solve for each:
Coordinates of endpoint B is (-6, -1)
b. The midpoint of a segment, is the middle of the segment. It divides the segment into two equal parts. The answer is TRUE.
