Answer: option B is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c
Where c = intercept
Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis represent
change in the value of y = y2 - y1
Change in value of x = x2 -x1
y2 = final value of y
y 1 = initial value of y
x2 = final value of x
x1 = initial value of x
The line passes through (- 5, - 2) and (3, - 1),
y2 = - 1
y1 = - 2
x2 = 3
x1 = - 5
Slope,m = (- 1 - - 2)/(3 - - 5) = 1/8
To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 3, y = - 1 and
m = 1/8 into y = mx + c. It becomes
- 1 = 1/8 × 3 + c
- 1 = 3/8 + c
c = - 1 - 3/8 = - 11/8
The equation becomes
y = x/8 - 11/8
By doing a two step equation
1. You would do 45 × 3 = 135 miles
2. 630 ÷ 2 = 315. 630 + 315 = 945 miles
3. 54 × 11 = 594 miles
1. Time is distance ÷ speed, so 4760 ÷ 560 = 8 1/2hours
2. 27 ÷ 54 = 0.5 hours, or 30 minutes
3. 1748 ÷ 437 = 4 hours
I hope this helps!
The function is:
(9x^2 - 36)
f(x) = ---------------------
3x + 6
You can simplify that function to a linear function for all x for which 3x + 6 ≠ 0
=> x ≠ - 2.
So, for x ≠ - 2, you can do:
(9x^2 - 36)
f(x) = --------------------- =
3x + 6
9(x^2 - 4)
f(x) = ---------------------
3(x + 2)
3(x + 2)(x - 2)
f(x) = --------------------- = 3(x - 2) = 3x - 6
(x + 2)
So, the graph is a right line that intercepts the y-axis at - 6 and the x-axis at x = 2, excluding x = -2 as the function is not defined for x = -2. That is the second graph of the second picture.
