Y = -7x - 2 Use the two points given to find the slope (m) m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) m = ( 12-5 ) / (-2 - (-1)) m = -7 Now we have y = -7x + b where 'b' is our y-intercept. We can solve for 'b' by choosing one of the (x,y) coordinate points and plugging them in. Let's choose the point (-1,5). Plug -1 in for 'x' and 5 in for 'y' and solve for 'b'. y = -7x + b 5 = -7(-1) + b b = -2 Final eqn: y = -7x - 2

Where x=-1:
Y= (-1)^2 - 4(-1)
Y= 1 - -4
Y= 5

Where x=-2:
Y= (-2)^2 - 4(-2)
Y= 4 - - 8
Y= 12

Now we calculate the gradient/slope:

m= y2-y1/x2-x1
m= (12 - 5)/(-2 - -1)
m= 7/-1

Finally, the y-intercept:

y= -7x + c
Using any of the known points from earlier (-1,5) or (-2,12)
5= -7(-1) + c
5 -7 = (7 - 7) + c
-2 = c

The equation is y = -7x - 2

-6 * -6 + 7 * -6 + 8​
Lelu [443]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

The * means multiplication where the ^ means exponents, so you multiply in this case.

-6 * -6 = 36

Two negatives equals a positive.

PEMDAS shows that multiplication and division occurs first so...

7 * -6 = -42

36 + -42 + 8

-8 + 8

= 0

You can search it up to see what PEMDAS is.

The total cost f(x), in dollars, for renting a bike for x hours is shown:
GaryK [48]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

($20/hr) is the hourly rental rate, and x is the number of hours for which the bike is rented.

In    f(x) = 10 + 20x   letting x = 10 results in the total rental cost of the bike for 10 hours (Answer D)
