Answer:

y = (3/4)x

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  Find the slope of the line.  As we go from ( -8,-6) to (12,9), x increases by 20 and y increases by 15.  Thus, the slope, m, is m = rise / run = 15/20 = 3/4

2) Recognize that the y-intercept is zero (0) because this is direct variation; the line goes thru the origin.

3) write the equation of the line:  y = mx + b becomes y = (3/4)x

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{12}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{9-(-6)}{12-(-8)}\implies \cfrac{9+6}{12+8}\implies \cfrac{15}{20}\implies \cfrac{3}{4}

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-6)=\cfrac{3}{4}[x-(-8)]\implies y+6=\cfrac{3}{4}(x+8) \\\\\\ y+6=\cfrac{3}{4}x+6\implies y=\cfrac{3}{4}x

I am lost on "Graph y< -3|x-1| please help!
Sindrei [870]

1) |x| is the absolute value function. Its vertex is at (0,0).

2) |x-1| has the same graph as does y = |x|, except that the vertex is shifted 1 unit to the left.

3) -3|x-1| has the same graph as the previous result, except that we must reflect the previous graph in the x-axis.

4) Replace the solid lines you used in this graph with dashed ones.

5) Shade the area beneath y = -3|x-1|

In summary:

the desired graph is the shaded area below the inverted v-shaped graph of

y = -3|x-1|. Its vertex is at (-1,0).

Which of the following describes a similarity between the British colonies in
andriy [413]

Answer:

C. After gaining independence, territory in both former colonies was divided due to religious conflicts

Step-by-step explanation:

The British had India as their colony, and Palestine as their mandate. Once the World War II ended though, the British saw that they are not in a financial position to be able to keep their colonies and mandates, so they decided to grant them independence. The independence didn't went as desired by the locals though, as both India and Palestine got partitioned because of religious reasons. India was partitioned into Hindu and Muslim part, while Palestine and Muslim and Jewish part. The situation in the Indian subcontinent quickly escalated, as well as in Palestine where the Arabs saw the formation of Israel as stealing of their land.
