Answer:

y=2.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the equation in y = mx + b format, we need to find m and b, the slope and y-intercept.

To find the slope, we need two points on a graph, which we have.

First, the slope

The formula for slope is

\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Our points, (6, 15) and (2, 5)

Plugging into our equation:

\frac{15 - 5}{6 - 2}, which is 10 divided by 4, which is 2.5

Our equation now:

y=2.5x+b

To find our b, we need to plug in one x value.

(6, 15) are our pair of points.

6 = x

15 = y

15 = 6(2.5) + b  =>

15 = 15+b  =>

b = 0

If b is 0, then we don't need to include b.

Our equation is y=2.5x

If f(x) is an even function and (6, 8) is one the points on the graph of f(x), which reason explains why (–6, 8) must also be a
Vikki [24]

If f(x) is an even function, then f(x)=f(-x). In this case, f(6)=8=f(-6).


This is because an even function is symmetric about the y-axis. Hence the outputs of a negative x-value and a positive x-value are the same.


The correct option is the first option.

Since the graph is even, the outputs of a negative x-value and a positive x-value are the same.

Solve<br> -31-4x=-5-5(1+5x)
MrRa [10]
-31 - 4x = 5 - 5 ( 1 + 5x )
-31 - 4x = 5 - 5 - 25x
-31 - 4x = -25x
+ 31 to both sides
-4x = 6
/ -4 to both sides
x = 6/-4 = 3/-2
