Answer:

Sean is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope tell the rate of the steepness of a line. Slope just telling you the rate, not the distance. You can't average the slope of two lines because the length of the line can be different.  

Let's say A at (0, 0) and B (100, 200) and C at (101, 206). These coordinate fulfill the slope said above, but the slope of AC is 206/101= 2.04.

Sean can be right, but only if the horizontal length(x-axis distance) of AB=BC. If that so, using the example similar to above the coordinate can be A(0, 0), B(100, 200), C (200, 800). In this case, the slope is equal to the average of both lines.

Answer:

  (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse function, solve ...

  x = f(y)

__

  x = f(y)\\\\x=\dfrac{1}{9}y-2\\\\x+2=\dfrac{1}{9}y\\\\9(x+2)=y\\\\y=9x+18\\\\\boxed{f^{-1}(x)=9x+18}

The graph of which function will have a maximum and a y-intercept of 4?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

<h2>f(x) = -x² + 2x + 4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have quadratic functions f(x) = ax² + bx + c.

c - y-intercept

If a > 0, then a parabola opens up and has a minimum in a vertex.

If a < 0, then a parabola opens down and has a maximum in a vertex.

The function has maximum and y-intercept of 4:

a < 0 and c = 4
