First find slope
(-2-6)/(9-5) = -8/4 = -2
Y = -2x + b
6 = -2(5) + b, b = 16
Solution: D

Let f(x) = - 10x + 9 and g(x) = x2 + 12 Find f( - 4)/g( - 4)

Reptile [31]

Answer:

$\frac{49}{28}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate g(- 4) and f(- 4) by substituting x = - 4 into g(x) and f(x), that is

f(- 4) = - 10(- 4) + 9 = 40 + 9 = 49

g(- 4) = (- 4)² + 12 = 16 + 12 = 28

Then

$\frac{f(-4)}{g(-4)}$ = $\frac{49}{28}$ = $\frac{7}{4}$

A and b are positive integers and a-b=2. Evaluate the following: 9^1/2b/3^a

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{ 9 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\huge \frac{ {9}^{ \frac{1}{2}b } }{ {3}^{a} } \\ \\ = \huge \frac{ {( {3}^{2} )}^{ \frac{1}{2}b } }{ {3}^{a} } \\ \\ = \huge \frac{ { {3}}^{2 \times \frac{1}{2}b } }{ {3}^{a} } \\ \\ \huge = \frac{ {3}^{b} }{ {3}^{a} } \\ \\ \huge = \frac{1}{ {3}^{a - b} } \\ \\ \huge= \frac{1}{ {3}^{2} } \\ ( \because \: a - b = 2)\\ \\ \huge = \frac{1}{ 9 }$
