Answer:

y = (2/5)x + 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

Equation of the line passing through the poits (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and slope m is given by

(y - y1)/(x - x1) = m where slope m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

To find the slope of line 

Here (x1, y1) = (-4, -1) and (x2, y2) = (6, 3)

Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

= (3 - -1)/(6 - -4)

= 4/10 = 2/5

To find the equation 

(y - y1)/(x - x1) = m

(y - -1)/(x - -4) = 2/5

(y + 1)/(x + 4) = 2/5

5(y + 1) = 2(x + 4)

5y + 5 = 2x + 8

5y = 2x + 3

y = (2/5)x + 3/5

Answer:

y=2/5x+3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula to get the slope:

m=4/10

m=2/5

The y intercept is 3/5

The equation is y=2/5x+3/5

The function ƒ(x) = (x − 1)^2 + 5 is not one-to-one. Find a portion of the domain where the function is one-to-one and find an i

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

f(x)=(x-1)^2+5 with domain x>1 and range y>5 has inverse g(x)=sqrt(x-5)+1 with domain x>5 and range y>1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is a parabola when graphed. It is in vertex form f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k where (h,k) is vertex and a tells us if it's reflected or not or if it's stretched. The thing we need to notice is the vertex because if we cut the graph with a vertical line here the curve will be one to one. So the vertex is (1,5). Let's restrict the domain so x >1.

* if x>1, then x-1>0.

* Also since the parabola opens up, then y>5.

So let's solve y=(x-1)^2+5 for x.

Subtract 5 on both sides:

y-5=(x-1)^2

Take square root of both sides:

Plus/minus sqrt(y-5)=x-1

We want x-1>0:

Sqrt(y-5)=x-1

Add 1 on both sides:

Sqrt(y-5)+1=x

Swap x and y:

Sqrt(x-5)+1=y

x>5

y>1

He rain caused the river to ride a total of 6 2/3 inches. The river was rising at an average of 2/3 of an inch each hour. How ma

Kobotan [32]

To find out how many hours it rained, divide the total rise in the river by the amount it rose every hour.

$\sf 6\dfrac{2}{3}\div\dfrac{2}{3}$

First convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. We do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number, adding it to the numerator, which becomes our new numerator, and we keep the denominator the same:

$\sf\dfrac{20}{3}\div\dfrac{2}{3}$

When dividing fractions we flip(the reciprocal) the one we're dividing by and multiply:

$\sf\dfrac{20}{3}\times\dfrac{3}{2}$

Multiply the numerators and denominators together:

$\sf\dfrac{60}{6}$

Simplify by dividing:

$\boxed{\sf 10}$

So it rained for 10 hours.
