Answer:

slope = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = y2-y1 / x2-x1

1 - -2 / 4 - -2 = 3/6 = 1/2

or think of it this way. for every 1 step up you take 2 steps to the right to stay on the line. 1/2

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

$\sf y=9x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\begin{aligned}&\sf y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\&\sf y-31=9(x-4) \\&\sf y-31=9x-36 \\&\sf y=9x-36+31 \\&\boxed{\sf y=9x-5} \end{aligned}$

A side of the triangle below has been extended to form an exterior angle of 132°. Find the value of X

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

x = 114°

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles, thus

x + 18° = 132° ( subtract 18° from both sides )

x = 114°

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6y = -3x - 3

y = -1/2x - 1/2

perp. 2

y + 5 = 2(x - 1)

y + 5 = 2x - 2

y = 2x - 7

The table represents an exponential function.

kkurt [141]

Answer:

b=2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The table is given as:

$\left|\begin{array}{c|c}x&y\\--&--\\1&9\\2&6\\3&4\\4&\dfrac83\\\\5&\dfrac{16}{9}\end{array}\right|$

The exponential function is given in the form

$y= a (b)^{x}$

where a is the initial value and b is the multiplicative rate of change

When x=1, y=9, we have:

$9= a (b)^{1}$

When x=3, y=4, we have:

$4= a (b)^{3}$

Dividing the two equations:

$\dfrac{a (b)^{3}}{a (b)^{1}} =\dfrac{4}{9} \\b^2=\dfrac{4}{9}\\b=\sqrt{\dfrac{4}{9}} \\b=\dfrac{2}{3}$

The multiplicative rate of change, b is 2/3.
