Answer:   y = -1/2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given two points on the graph, we are going to use these points to find the slope using the formula m = y2-y1 / x2-y1, where m is equal to the slope.

Since it doesn't matter which points are 1 and which are two, we are just going to make (-4,5) x2 and y2, and (4,1) x1 and y1. Plugging everything in we get 5-1/-4-4 = 4/-8 = -1/2. So, -1/2 is our slope.

Now we can plug in the slope and one of our previous points, again it doesn't matter which one, into y = mx + b to find b, the y-intercept. We are going to use the point (4,1) and when we plug it in we get 1 = -1/2(4) + b and b ends up being equal to 3.

So when we plug in 3 for the y - intercept and  -1/2 for the slope, we get y = -1/2x+3

Answer:

f(x) has the greatest y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The function f(x) = 7x + 3

- The function g(x) is tangent function with y-intercept at (0 , 2)

- h(x) = 2 sin(3x + π) - 1

* Lets explain how to find the y-intercept

- The y-intercept means the intersection of the graph of the

 function with the y- axis

- Any point on the y-axis has x-coordinate = 0, so to find the y-intercept

of any function substitute x in the function by zero

∵ f(x) = 7x + 3

∵ x = 0

∴ f(x) = 3

∴ The y-intercept of f(x) is 3

∵ g(x) has y-intercept at point (0 , 2)

∴ The y-intercept of g(x) is 2

∵ h(x) = 2 sin(3x + π) - 1

∵ x = 0

∴ h(x) = 2 sin(3 × 0 + π) - 1

∴ h(x) = 2 sin(π) - 1

∵ sin(π) = 0

∴ h(x) = 2 (0) - 1 = 0 - 1 = -1

∴ The y-intercept of h(x) is -1

∵ 3 > 2 and 3 > -1

∴ f(x) has the greatest y-intercept

you have $5.00 in quarters and dimes. you have a total of 41 coins. how many of the coins are quarters?
sweet [91]
So, from this information you can set up two equations:
0.1x + 0.25y = 5 dollars and
x + y = 41 coins
where x = how many dimes and y = how many quarters

Solve for either x or y in the second equation, so x = 41 - y and then plug this in for x in the first equation to get:
0.1(41 - y) + 0.25y = 5
4.1 - 0.1y + 0.25y = 5
4.1 + 0.15y = 5
0.15y = 0.9
y = 6
We solved for y and now we know there are 6 quarters, so you can plug this into the second equation to solve for x. We fine that we have 35 dimes. You can always your work by plugging what you get for x and y back into the equations.
