Answer: it is slope intercept form

Example: y= 5x + 8

this means that 5x is the slope so when graphed, you would go 5 up and 1 over (you can think of it as 5/1) and the 8 signifies the y- intercept. The y- intercept indicates where you start graphing

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):

Elza [17]

Answer:

(a) The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x)

(b) f(x) has a greater y intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{cc}x & {f(x)} & -1&-9&0&-1&1&7 \ \end{array}$

$g(x) = 3x - 2$

Solving (a): Compare the slopes

The slope (m) of f(x) is calculated as;

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

This gives:

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

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

Substitute values for f(0) and f(1)

$m = \frac{-1 - 7}{- 1}$

$m = \frac{-8}{- 1}$

$m = 8$

The slope of g(x) can be gotten using the following comparison

$g(x) = mx + b$

$m \to slope$

So:

$g(x) = 3x -2$

$m = 3$

$m_{f(x)} > m_{g(x)}$

Solving (b): Compare the y intercept

y intercept is when $x = 0$

From the table of f(x)

$f(0) = -1$

From the equation of g(x)

$g(x) = 3x -2$

$g(0) = 3*0-2$

$g(0) =-2$

Coffee table is 20% odd the original price of $115. If there is 7.5% sales tax, what is the final price of the coffee table?

netineya [11]

100%-20%= 80%=0.8

115(0.8)= 92

92(1.075)= 98.9

The final price of the coffee table is $98.90.

Hope this helps!

Make q the subject of the formula 2(q+p) = 1 + 5 q

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

q = 2/3p - 3

Step by step:

2q+2p = 1+5q
2q - 5q = -2p + 1
-3q = -2p + 1
q = 2/3p - 3
