As we go from (-6,6) to (9,1), x increases by 15 and y decreases by 5. Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -5/15, or m = -1/3.
Point-slope form: y-6 = (-1/3)(x+6), using data from (-6,6).
Slope-intercept form: starting with y = mx + b, substit. -6 for x, 6 for y and -1/3 for m:
6 = (-1/3)(-6) + b, or
6 = 2 + b. Then b = 4, and the equation in slope-intercept form is
y = (-1/3)x + 4.
-5 and -8 both multiply to 40 -5 x -8 = 40 and both add up to -13. -5 + -8 = -13. two negative numbers when added together the answer is still negative. ex: if i owe 2 dollars to someone and 2 to another i owe 4 in total
Mid segment of triangle = 1/2 base
base = x here, so
1/2x = 15
multiply both sides by 2,
x=30
answer: x=30
C. A function can only have one y value for an x value
