What is the slope of the line through the points (-2, -1) and (8, -3)
2 answers:
Answer:
The answer is
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to determine the slope of the line, we have to know about how calculate a slope.
There are two ways of get a slope of a line:
- Knowing the linear equation and then we need to free the "y" variable (dependent variable). The coefficient of the "x" variable (independent variable) is the slope.
- From to two points that belong to the linear equation.
The formula of the second way is the next:
m=slope of the linear equation
P1=(x1,y1)=first pair of coordinate
P2=(x2,y2)=second pair of coordinate
In this case, we have two points, so we use the formula:
P1=(-2,-1)
P2=(8,-3)
Finally, the slope of the line is

• Function: f(x) = 3x + 12.
A. Finding the inverse of f.
The composition of f with its inverse results in the identity function:
(f o g)(x) = x
f[ g(x) ] = x
3 · g(x) + 12 = x
3 · g(x) = x – 12
x – 12
g(x) = ⸺⸺

x
g(x) = ⸺ – 4 <——— this is the inverse of f.

C. Since f and g are inverse, then
f(g(– 2))
= (f o g)(– 2)
= – 2 <span>✔
</span>
• Call h the compositon of f and g. So,
h(x) = (f o g)(x)
h(x) = x
As you can see above, there is no restriction for h. Therefore, the domain of h is R (all real numbers).
I hope this helps. =)
