To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. Let's call:

 x the first number and and the other number 46-x

 2. Then, the product of both numbers is:

 y=x(46-x)

 3. When you apply the distributive property, you obtain:

 y=46x-x^2

 4. As you can see, the coefficient of x^2 is negative, this means that the maximun value is at the vertex of the parabola.

 5. Then, you have:

 h=-b/2a
 h=-46/2(-1)
 h=23   (x coordinate)

 6.Then:

  y=46x-x^2
 y=46(23)-(23)^2
 y=529

 Therefore the answer is: 23 and 529.

Enter the equation of the line in the form y=mx where m is the slope.Immersive Reader
kari74 [83]

Answer:

y = 1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the rise (up) over run (left or right depending on if the number is negative) between points. So the next point on the graph is up 5 and over 10. this simplified is 1/2. Then you put this into y=mx which is y=1/2x
