Rather than try to select the correct answer without doing work, I'd rather do the work first and the matching later.
Given y = 4 - x, or y = 4 - 1x,
1) the y-intercept is (0,4).
2) this being a linear function, it has neither maximum nor minimum.
3) the x-intercept is found by letting y = 0 and solving for x: 0 = 4 - x; x - 4. The x-intercept is (4,0).
Which of the given statements is true?
Answer:
y = x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b as an equation
m = slope
slope = (change in y) / (change in x) = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (y₁-y₂)/(x₁-x₂) = (2-(-2))/(4-0) = 4/4 = 1
y = 1*x + b
plug a value in, e.g. (0, -2)
-2 = 1 * 0 + b
-2 = b
our equation is thus
y = x - 2
Answer:
<em>2/3 of the jar was filled with flour</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
<em>A jar can hold 3/4 of a pound of flour. Austin empties 1/2 of a pound of flour into the jar. What fraction of the jar is filled? Enter your answer in numerical form.</em>
<em />
Given
<em>Amount a jar can hold a = 3/4 of a pound of flour</em>
<em />
<em>If Austin empties 1/2 of a pound of flour into the jar, then the amount emptied into the jar b = 1/2 pounds</em>
<em />
<em>Fraction of jar filled will be expressed as b/a as shown;</em>
<em>b/a = (1/2)/(3/4)</em>
<em>b/a = 1/2 ÷ 3/4</em>
<em>b/a = 1/2 * 4/3</em>
<em>b/a = 4/6</em>
<em>Simplify to the lowest term</em>
<em>a/b = 2*2/2*3</em>
<em>a/b = 2/3</em>
<em />
<em>Hence 2/3 of the jar was filled with flour</em>
I think it would be (F,E)
