Answer:
The equation of the function: y = mx + b
- m = slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = [5 - (-3)]/(4 - 0) = (5 + 3)/4 = 8/4 = 2
- b = y-intercept = -3
Therefore, the equation is <u>f(x) = 2x - 3</u>
When x = 0, f(x) = 2(0) - 3 = <u>-3</u>
When x increases by 1, f(x) increases by <u>2</u> (slope = the rate of change)
Triangle ABE is isosceles / Given
AB congruent to AE / Def isosceles
angle ABE congruent to angle AEB / Property of isosceles triangles
angle ABD congruent to angle AEC / Subst different name for same angles
BD congruent to EC / Given
triange ABD congruent to triange AEC / Side Angle Side
Y intercept is negative 8
Answer: y = x -1
reasoning: the slope is 1 because the rise/run = 1/1, which simplifies to 1.
the y intercept is -1 because the line passes through the y axis at -1.
hope this helps!
