Answer:
Each of the inches was reduced by 3 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the answer because if you divide the 24 by 3 you will get 8 and the same thing occurs if you divide the 36 by 3 and you will get 12
First, distribute -2 into the parentheses which gives you y+4=-2x+2. Subtract 4 to both sides and you get y=-2x-2. This would be the slope-intercept form of the original equation.
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
The distances have the ratio:
(C -A) = (2/3)(B -A)
C = (2/3)B +(1/3)A . . . . . add A
C = (2B +A)/3 . . . . . . . . combine terms
C = (2(4) +(-2))/3 = 6/3 = 2
The coordinate of C is 2.
Notice how points T and Z are vertically aligned, or vertically lined up. This is where the graph fails the vertical line test.
The input x = 2 leads to the outputs y = 3 and y = 5 (which are the y coordinates of points Z and T in that order).
A function is only possible when any given input leads to <u>exactly one</u> output only. It would be like saying "the conversion function from Celsius to Fahrenheit has 0 degrees C convert to both 32 degrees F and 50 degrees F at the same time". But such a statement makes no sense and it's not useful. So this is one example of why having one output makes sense for a function.
In short, we need one output for any given input. But the input x = 2 leads to more than one output. That's why we don't have a function.
