Answer:
y = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Use reverse operations to isolate the variable, y.
y = -8
Well, there's a lot of ways you could do this. Because it's multiple choice, you can just pick a pair of points and whatever equation it works in, that's your answer. In this case, it's the third one down.
If you didn't have multiple choice you would use these two formulas:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1)
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
-4, -9/4, 1/2, 3.7
Negatives have a smaller value than positive
4 gold, 4 silver, and 10 bronze
|x| is tricky but maybe I can tell you so that it's clear 4ever.
You have to look at when what's inside the absolute value iszero. In this case x=0. That easy. Then, you have to split the cases:
For x>= 0, you have y = -x+1,
For x<=0, you have y = -(-x) + 1 = x+1, because abs(x)=-x, if x<=0.
Notice that x=0 is included in either case, because |x| is continuous.
Then plot each line choosing a couple of points, notice that for one case you should choose x=-1, -2, or x=0, but not positive values, and the other way for the case with x>=0.
