Answer:

Cody made a mistake when calculating the slope of the line and this affected every other steps after than.

She divided -3 by 6 instead of -3 by 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x_1,y_1) = (\frac{1}{2},4)

(x_2,y_2) = (\frac{2}{3},1)

<em>See attached for steps</em>

Required

Explain Cody's error

<em>Cody made a mistake when calculating the slope of the line and this affected every other steps after than.</em>

See Proof

Slope (m) is calculated as thus:

m =\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

m =\frac{1 - 4}{\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2}}

m =-\frac{ 3}{\frac{1}{6}}

m = -3/\frac{1}{6}

m = -3 * 6

m = -18

This is in contrast to m = -\frac{1}{2}, calculated by Cody

Solving further to determine the equation.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Where

(x_1,y_1) = (\frac{1}{2},4)

m = -18

y - 4 = -18(x - \frac{1}{2})

y - 4 = -18x + 9

Collect Like Terms

y + 18x = 9 + 4

y + 18x = 13

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the graph, f(x)=7 is only true at x=-3 or you can use the equation

f(x)=-x+4 where you plug in 7 for f(x) !!
