Answer:

D. The slope of the function is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the best thing to start with is the slope. Lets figure it out using the slope formula, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

Using the points, (-4, -7) and (-3, -4),

(-4 - (-7)) / (-3 - (-4))

= 3 / 1

= 3

Right off the bat, you can see that C is incorrect.

Lets go through the other choices and check now.

Using our slope, lets write an equation in the slope intercept form.

y = -3x + b (derived from y=mx+b)

Now, lets plug in a point (let's say, (-4,-7)) to verify if 3 really is the y intercept.

-7 = 3(-4) + b

-7 = -12 +b

5 = b

Since 3 is not equal to 5, A is incorrect. That leaves us with choice B and D.

We know that the x-intercept is found as (0, a), meaning that this x intercept is (0, 5/3). Let's plug it into the equation!

0 = 3(5/3) + 5

0 = 5 + 5

0 = 10

Since this is obviously incorrect, our answer is D, the slope of the function is positive. Let me know if you have any other questions.

What is the approximate solution of the linear system represented by the graph below

VashaNatasha [74]

ANSWER

The approximate solution is

$(4, - 1)$

EXPLANATION

The point of intersection of the two lines is the solution of the linear systems represented by the graph.

From the graph we can determine that each box is 2 units.

From the graph, when we start at O and count two boxes to the right and half box down, we obtain the point of intersection of the two lines to be
$(4, - 1)$

Note that since each box is two units, half way between the boxes gives one unit.

The point P on the circle x2 + y2 = r2 that is also on the terminal side of an angle θ in standard position is given. Find the i

Brut [27]

Okay so you do not really need the circle equation. if you make a triangle with it's x length as 3 and it's y length as 4, you will be able to find the third length. Do Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse.
the hypotenuse will be five after you calculate it.

sin is opposite over hypotenuse or Y over R

so... the sin is 4/5

make sure you know what quadrant your triangle is in for the negatives
