The least number should always start off with negatives if there are any. In this case there is so we can start with -2 as our least amount. Next are the small fractions. If you're allowed a calculator, I would use that to find what the decimals will look like for each fraction:

After -2 the next least number is 0 and the next one is the fraction or decimal closest to the number 0 which is 0.4
The next number would be from the fractions we solved earlier. 0.5 and 0.625 would follow 0.4 and then 1.1 and 1.6667(solved for from fraction).
Here is the list:

Hope this helps!
<h3>
Answer: (-infinity, 7]</h3>
=====================================
Explanation:
The first interval (-infinity, 3) describes any number less than 3, so we can write x < 3 in short hand (where x is the unknown number).
The second interval (-1, 7] means we start at -1 and stop at 7. We do not include -1 but include 7. So we say that
(ie x is between -1 and 7; exclude -1, include 7)
If you were to graph each ona number line, you would see that the too intervals have overlapping parts. The right most edge extends out as far as x = 7. There is no left most edge as it goes onforever that direction.
Therefore, the to intervals combine to get
which turns into the interval notation answer of (-infinity, 7]
-----------
It might help to think of it like this: x < 3 and
say "x is some number that is less than 3, or it is between -1 and 7". So x could be anything less than 7, including 7 itself.
Answer:
Function
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, the graph is a function. For each x value, there is a unique y value that corresponds with it.
A graph can also be tested as a function by using the popular "vertical-line test".
Solution:
<u>In this case, we are given:</u>
- Equation: y = -2x
- Slope = -2
- y-intercept = 0
Looking at Option A, we can tell that its <u>slope is -2 and y-intercept is 0.</u>
Since this is matching with the info we are given, Option A is correct.
