If a line crosses though (5,-3) and (-1,6);what is the y-intercept?

1 answer:

6 0

(5,-3) (-1,6)
y=mx+b

calculate m:
(-3-6)/(5-(-1)
=-9/6=-1.5

y=-1.5x+b

insert the (5, -3) point to calculate b:

-3=-1.5*5+b
-3=-7.5+b
4.5=b

b=the y intercept, so the line intercepts x=0 at y=4.5

All the info is in the pictures

Bearing in mind that an absolute value expression is in effect a piece-wise function with two cases, thus

$\bf |-n|=
\begin{cases}
+(-n)\\
-(-n)
\end{cases}\implies 
\begin{cases}
-n\\
n
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
n|-n|=2n\implies 
\begin{cases}
n-n=2n\implies 0=2n\implies &0=n\\
n+n=2n\implies 2n=2n\impliedby &inconsistent
\end{cases}$

Often sales of a new product grow rapidly at first and then level off with time. This is the case with the sales represented by

True [87]

Answer:

Here we have the function:

S(t) = 500 - 400*t^(-1)

Then the rate of change at the value t, will be:

S'(t) = dS(t)/dt

This differentiation will be:

S'(t) = -400/t^2

Then:

a) the rate of change at t = 1 is:

S'(1) = -400/1^2 = -400

The rate of change after one year is -400

b) t = 10

S'(10) = -400/10^2 = -400/100 = -4

The rate of change after 10 years is -4, it reduced as the years passed, as expected.

two angles are conplementary angles. One angle measures 59 the other measures (4n-1) what is the value of n

natulia [17]

Answer:

n = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add up to 90°

So,

59° + (4n - 1) = 90°

4n - 1 = 90° - 59° = 31°

4n = 31° + 1° = 32°

4n° = 32°

n = 32 ÷ 4 = 8
