Answer:

Error: Sariah treated every term as though it were an x-term. 5 and -4.5 are constants that cannot be combined with the x-terms. They can only be combined with each other.

Correct solution: 31x + 0.5

Strategy: Pay attention to the variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

In her first step, it appears Sariah added 13x and 5 to get 18x. These terms are not like terms, so cannot be added in this way. An appropriate strategy is to first identify all the terms with the same variables (x in this case), then add their coefficients.

... = x(13 +17 +1) +5 -4.5

Likewise, all the constant terms can be added.

... = 31x +(5 -4.5)

... = 31x + 0.5

the formula y-y1 =m(x-x1) is the pot slope form of the equation of a line where m is the slope of the line and(x,y) and (x1,y1)

$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~{{ 4}} &,&{{ -2}}~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~{{ 5}} &,&{{ 0}}~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}}{\stackrel{run}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}}\implies \cfrac{5-(-2)}{0-4}\implies \cfrac{5+2}{0-4}\implies -\cfrac{7}{4}$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-(-2)=-\cfrac{7}{4}(x-4)
\\\\\\
y+2=-\cfrac{7}{4}(x-4)\implies y+2=-\cfrac{7}{4}x+7\implies y=-\cfrac{7}{4}x+9$

Which of the following is not a function?

rusak2 [61]

Answer: B

Number on the left: x-value
Number on the right: y-value

If there are 2 y-values for one x-value it is NOT considered a function.

For instance in the answer:

(2,3), (2,4), (3,3), (3,4)

You can clearly see that the x-values (2 & 3) repeat more than once; therefore, it is NOT a function.

On the other hand if you have 2 DIFFERENT x-values for the same y-value it IS A FUNCTION.

For ex D: (2,4), (3,4), (5,4), (6,4)

As you can see there are 4 DIFFERENT x-values with same y-value; therefore it is A FUNCTION

To make it easier:

If x-values appear more than once = NOT A FUNCTION

If x-values appear only ONCE = FUNCTION

Remember: y-values are ALLOWED to repeat

I hope this helps. If you have any questions please let me know in the comments.
