Answer:

-5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use slope intercept form: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\frac{-2-8}{20-8}$ = $\frac{-10}{12}$ = -5/6

Which function below is decaying the fastest?

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Function: y = 1/6^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The function y = 1/6^x would be decaying faster because the function y = 2/3^x equals 4/6^x and that is 4 times greater than 1/6. That means that more of the value will be retained in the function y = 2/3^x or y = 4/6^x.

What is the value of a?

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{a=\dfrac{16}{3}=5\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle ZYW\sim\triangle WYX\ (AAA)\\\\\text{Therefore corresponding sides are in proportion}\\\\\dfrac{YX}{YW}=\dfrac{YW}{ZY}\\\\\text{substitute}\\\\YX=a;\ YW=4;\ ZY=3\\\\\dfrac{a}{4}=\dfrac{4}{3}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\4\cdot\dfrac{a}{4}=4\cdot\dfrac{4}{3}\qquad\text{cancel 4}\\\\a=\dfrac{16}{3}$
