Use the slope/gradient formula below:

$\large \boxed{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }$

This formula is for when we want to find the gradient when we have two given points. (We also call it Rise Over Run or changes of y over the changes of x.)

We are given two points which are (3,7) and (5,11). Substitute these points in the equation. (the ordered pairs are in (x,y) and not (y,x))

$\large{m = \frac{11 - 7}{5 - 3} } \\ \large{m = \frac{4}{2} \longrightarrow \boxed{m = 2}}$

Hence, the gradient of AB is 2.

Answer:

Gradient is change in y over change in x.

gradient = y1-y2 ÷ x1-x2

=7-11 ÷ 3-5

=-4 ÷ -2

I need to solve question 3

AlexFokin [52]

3) 3.sec² Ф = 4.tan² Ф
but sec² Ф = 1/cos² Ф
3/cos² Ф = 4.tan² Ф
3/4 = (tan² Ф).(cos² Ф) ; tan² Ф = sin² Ф/cos² Ф

3/4 = (sin² Ф)x(cos² Ф)/(cos² Ф)

sin² Ф = 3/4

a) sin Ф = +(√3)/2 and b) sin Ф = - (√3)/2

sin Ф = + - (√3)/2 → Ф =π/3 + kπ/3

Let f(x)=−32x and g(x)=(12)x−1 . Graph the functions on the same coordinate plane. What are the solutions to the equation f

Grace [21]

Refer to the attachment for the graph of the two functions in Desmos. To solve for the solution, we just equate the two functions and solve for x:

$-32x=12x-1$
$-44x=-1$
$x= \frac{1}{44}$

For the y value we just substitute x in any of the function:
$f( \frac{1}{44})=-32( \frac{1}{44})=- \frac{8}{11}$

ANSWER: The solution to the equation f(x)=g(x) is ( $\frac{1}{44}$ , $\frac{-8}{11}$ ).
