Answer:

5 is the constant. A constant is a number that does not change throughout the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

17x + 5 = - 3x Equation

Step 2:

17x = - 3x - 5 Subtract 5 on both sides

Step 3:

20x = - 5 Add 3x on both sides

Step 4:

- 5 ÷ 20 Divide

Answer: ( To Equation )

- 1/4

Hope This Helps :)

Match the information on the left with the appropriate equation on the right.

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1). Equation of a line which has slope 'm' and y-intercept as 'b' is,

y = mx + b

If slope 'm' = 1 and y-intercept 'b' = -3

Equation of the line will be,

y = x - 3

x - y = 3

2). Equation of a line having slope 'm' and passing through a point (x', y') is,

y - y' = m(x - x')

If the slope 'm' = 1 and point is (-1, 2),

The the equation of the line will be,

y - 2 = 1(x + 1)

y = x + 1 + 2

y = x + 3

x - y = -3

3). Equation of a line passing through two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ will be,

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

If this line passes through (-2, 3) and (-3, 4),

$y-3=\frac{(4-3)}{(-3+2)}(x+2)$

y - 3 = -1(x + 2)

y = -x - 2 + 3

y = -x + 1

x + y = 1

How to find if it is a function or not:

Leto [7]

Answer: It is not a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is something that "eats" an input and transforms it into an output.

We write them as y = f(x)

Where x is the input, and y is the output.

Now, a function has an important rule, for each input x, the function can only "transform it" (or map it) into only one possible output.

This means that, for example, if we have, for x = x1.

And a single

f(x1) = y1

f(x1) = y2

where y1 and y2 are different values.

Then this is not a function, because it is mapping the value x1 into two different outputs.

In this case, we would have:

f(Z) = A.

So Z is the input, but we know that a ZIP code works for an entire city, and in a given city we have lots of different street addresses, then for a single value of the input, Z, we have a lot of possible values of the output.

This means taht the set (Z, A) can not represent a function.
