Slope is equal to rise over run. For this question we use 0-6=-6 as the numerator and 9-7=2 as the denominator, thus the slope is -6/2=-3
Answer:
-2. 46
- 9.54
Step-by-step explanation:
- 2x²+12x-7=0
- 2x²+12x+18= 25
- 2*(x²+6x+9)=25
- 2*(x+6)²= 5²
- x+6= 5√2/2 ⇒ x= 5√2/2 -6 ≈ -2. 46
- x+6= -5√2/2 ⇒ x= -5√2/2 -6 ≈ - 9.54
Answer:
a. y = (3/5)× x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
y= mx+c
m = (13-4)/(20-5) = 9/15 = 3/5
c= 1
so, y= mx+c becomes y= (3/5) × x +1
"Understand the problem" might rightly consist of
• Perform this step first
• Identify what you are being asked to solve or find.
• Identify the important words or numbers in the problem
• Identify any instructions that you are supposed to follow

One of my professors always insisted we start the solution of any problem by writing down what was Given, and what we had to Find, using those headers for the sections of the paper we turned in. Only after those were listed were we allowed to write the Solution. Solution papers that didn't have that format were tossed in the trash, and no credit was given. Harsh, but effective.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Top line: y = (2/3)x + 2
Bottom line: y = (2/3)x -1
Discussion:
The graph provided is hard to read but I did the best I could.
The top line appears to pass through the points (0,2) and (-3,0)
For this line
m = change y /change x = (0-2)/(-3-0) = -2/-3 = +2/3. So
y = mx + b => y = (2/3) x+ b. As the line passes through (0,2) set x = 0, y= 2 in y = (2/3)x + b =>
2 = (2/3) 0 + b => b = 2
Therefore y = (2/3)x + 2
The bottom line appears to pass through the points (0,-1) and (3,1)
For this line
m = change y /change x = (1-(-1)) /(3-0) = +2/-3. So
y = mx + b => y = (2/3) x+ b. As the line passes through (0,-1) set x = 0, y= -1 in y = (2/3)x + b =>
-1 = (2/3) 0 + b => b = -1
Therefore y = (2/3)x + -1
Thank you,
MrB
