Answer : The correct option is, (A) -5

Step-by-step explanation :

The general form for the formation of a linear equation is:

$(y-y_1)=m\times (x-x_1)$

where,

x and y are the coordinates of x-axis and y-axis respectively.

m is slope of line.

Now we have to calculate the slope of line.

Formula used :

$m=\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}$

Here,

$(x_1,y_1)=(0,2)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(1,-3)$ (from the graph)

$m=\frac{(-3-2)}{(1-0)}$

$m=\frac{-5}{1}$

m = -5

Therefore, the slope of line is, -5

What is f(x)=2(3)^x?

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

This is an exponential function

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2(3)^x is one example of the exponential function. Since f(0) = 2(1) = 2, the y-intercept is (0, 2). The x-axis is the horizontal asymptote. The graph begins in Quadrant II, passes through (0, 2) and continues to increase, faster and faster, in Quadrant I. Next time, please be more specific about what you'd like to know.

The figure shown is a kite. What is the x-coordinate of point P?

tresset_1 [31]

The answer to the above question can be determined as -

Let the point on the left side of P be Q, thus coordinates of Q are (a,1) and point on the right side of P be R, thus coordinates of R will be, (a+4, 1).

Now, it given that, between x coordinates of Q and R is 4, and it can be seen that they are getting divided into half.

So, the x coordinate of P will be - a + $\frac{4}{2}$ i.e. a + 2
