Answer:

slope = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y - 3 = - $\frac{1}{2}$ (x - 2) ← is in point- slope form

with slope m = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 15 = 4x - 12

3x - 15 = -12

3x = 3

x = 1

y = 7(1) - 15

y = 7 - 15

y = -8

Which statement describes the function y=ax^n when a=1 and n is odd?

julsineya [31]

ANSWER

B. The graph is symmetric about the origin

EXPLANATION.

The given function is

$y = a {x}^{n}$

When a=1,

$y = {x}^{n}$

Let,

$f(x)= {x}^{n}$

$f(-x)= {( - x)}^{n}$

Since n is odd,

$f(-x)=-{( x)}^{n}$

$\Rightarrow f(-x)=-f(x)$

This implies that, the function

$y={x}^{n}$

is symmetric with respect to origin.

The correct answer is B

A would equal 60 because you would divide 60 by 2 there for getting 30

hope this helps
