Answer: f(2) = -4

Step-by-step explanation: Here we're given the function f(x) = -3x + 2 and we are asked to find f(2).

In other words, if we put an x into our function, we get a -3x + 2 out so what happens when we put a 2 into the function?

Well if we put a 2 into the function,

that's f(2) and we get -3(2) + 2 out.

Now all we have to do is simplify on the right side.

-3(2) is -6 so we have -6 + 2 which is -4.

So f(2) is -4.

What is the equation of this line? A: y=-3/2x B: y=2/3x C: y=-2/3x D: y=3/2x

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

b) y = 2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) formula: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

I will be using (3,2) and (-3,-2) to find the slope:

$m=\frac{-2-2}{-3-3}\\m=\frac{-4}{-6} \\m = \frac{2}{3}$

$y = mx + b\\y = \frac{2}{3}x+b$

(3,2)

$y = \frac{2}{3}x+b\\\\2 = \frac{2}{3}(3)+b\\\\2 = 2+b\\-2 -2\\\\0=b$

$y=mx+b\\\\y = \frac{2}{3}x+0\\\\y = \frac{2}{3}x$

Hope this helps!

How will the solution of the system y > 2x + and y < 2x + change if the inequality sign on both inequalities is reversed t

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The System of inequality is ,

1. y > 2 x + p

2. y < 2 x + p

Suppose we assign some values to p and q and draw its graph

And, then the inequality sign on both inequalities is reversed

3. y < 2 x + p

4. y > 2 x + p

And , then draw it's graph

it has been found that, the solution set of both the inequality remains same.That is there is no point or set of points , which satisfy both the system of inequality.

The system has no solution.

Solve the following System of Three Equations: x−3y+z=−15 2x+y−z=−2 x+y+2z=1

SashulF [63]

Answer:

x = -3 , y = 4 , z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{x - 3 y + z = -15

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the first equation, look to solve for z:

{x - 3 y + z = -15

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Solve for z.

Subtract x - 3 y from both sides:

{z = 3 y + (-x - 15)

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute z = -15 - x + 3 y into the second and third equations:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = 1

Hint: | Expand the left hand side of the equation x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = 1.

x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = x + y + (-30 - 2 x + 6 y) = -30 - x + 7 y:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 15 - 2 y from both sides:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

3 x = 2 y - 17

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Solve for x.

Divide both sides by 3:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3 into the third equation:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 - 73/3 = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the third equation, look to solve for y:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 - 73/3 = 1

Hint: | Isolate terms with y to the left hand side.

Add 73/3 to both sides:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 = 76/3

Hint: | Solve for y.

Multiply both sides by 3/19:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

y = 4

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute y = 4 into the first and second equations:

{z = -x - 3

x = -3

y = 4

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute x = -3 into the first equation:

{z = 0

x = -3

y = 4

Hint: | Sort results.

Collect results in alphabetical order:

Answer: {x = -3 , y = 4 , z = 0
