-4x +12 -12 = -4 -12
-4x = -16
x = 4

Times both sides by -1
4x-12=4
add 12 to both sides
4x+12-12=4+12
4x+0=16
4x=16
divide both sides by 4
(4x)/4=16/4
(4/4)x=4
1x=4
x=4

The table shows a linear function. <br>which equation represents the function?

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The equation $f(x)= -\frac{1}{2}x +4$ represents the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope intercept form to find the equation of line :

For any two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ the equation of line is given by:

$y -y _1 = m(x-x_1)$ ......[1] ;where m is the slope given by:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Consider any two points from table :

let (4, 2) and (0, 4) be any two points.

calculate slope:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{4-2}{0-4}$

$m = \frac{2}{-4} = -\frac{1}{2}$

Now, substitute in equation [1] we have:

$y - 2 = -\frac{1}{2} (x-4)$

Distributive property i.e, $a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c$

$y -2 = -\frac{1}{2}x +2$

Add both sides 2 we get;

$y -2+2 = -\frac{1}{2}x+2+2$

Simplify:

$y = -\frac{1}{2}x+4$

Since, y= f(x)

$f(x)= -\frac{1}{2}x +4$

therefore, the equation $f(x)= -\frac{1}{2}x +4$ represents the function.

The area of a triangle is found using the following formula:

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a=bh x 1/2

If you plug in 3=b and 8=h it is now

a= 3 x 8 x 1/2

3x8 is 24 times 1/2 is 12

Hope this helps :)
