Answer:

The slope of this line is 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving this equation 3x–4y–12=0 for y puts the equation into the form

y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line.

One way of solving for 4y here is to add 4y to both sides, obtaining:

3x - 12 = 4y

Dividing all three terms by 4 yields

y = (3/4)x - 3

The slope of this line is 3/4.

My homework says name a 2 digit odd number that is prime. name a 2 digit odd number that is composite.

lidiya [134]

2 digit meaning that it has 2 numbers. For example, 66 is a two digit number.
Now, they also said it must be prime, meaning that its factors can only be 1 and itself.
Also, it must be odd.

Answer: 67

Now, do the same, except the number must be composite, as meaning that it has other factors.

Match the one-to-one functions with their inverse functions.

Nady [450]

The inverse of a function is obtained by making x the subject of the formular of the function.

Given the function
$f(x)= \frac{x}{8} -7$
the inverse of the function is obtained as follows:
$y= \frac{x}{8} -7 \\ \\ y+7=\frac{x}{8} \\ \\ x=8(y+7) \\ \\ \bold{f^{-1}(x)=8(x+7)}$

Given the function
[tex[f(x)=x+7[/tex]
the inverse of the function is obtained as follows:
$y=x+7 \\ \\ x=y-7 \\ \\ \bold{f^{-1}(x)=x-7}$

Given the function
$f(x)=1- \frac{x}{3}$
the inverse of the function is obtained as follows:
$y=1- \frac{x}{3} \\ \\ -\frac{x}{3} =y-1 \\ \\ x=-3(y-1) \\ \\ \bold{f^{-1}(x)=-3(x-1)}$

Given the function
$f(x)=20-0.25x$
the inverse of the function is obtained as follows:
$y=20-0.25x=20- \frac{1}{4} x \\ \\ \frac{1}{4} x=20-y \\ \\ x=4(20-y) \\ \\ \bold{f^{-1}(x)=4(20-x)}$
