What do you mean? If you want it in order than you can say it. -17, -10.5, -4, 2.5, 9
Answer:
b. (1, 3, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator or scientific calculator can solve this system of equations for you, or you can use any of the usual methods: elimination, substitution, matrix methods, Cramer's rule.
It can also work well to try the offered choices in the given equations. Sometimes, it can work best to choose an equation other than the first one for this. The last equation here seems a good one for eliminating bad answers:
a: -1 -5(1) +2(-4) = -14 ≠ -18
b: 1 -5(3) +2(-2) = -18 . . . . potential choice
c: 3 -5(8) +2(1) = -35 ≠ -18
d: 2 -5(-3) +2(0) = 17 ≠ -18
This shows choice B as the only viable option. Further checking can be done to make sure that solution works in the other equations:
2(1) +(3) -3(-2) = 11 . . . . choice B works in equation 1
-(1) +2(3) +4(-2) = -3 . . . choice B works in equation 2
The slope of the linear function shown is of -1/3.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function, in slope-intercept formula, is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
Given two points of a line, the slope is given by <u>change in y divided by change in x</u>.
In this problem, the line goes through points (-3,0) and (0,-1), hence the slope is given by:
m = (0 - (-1))/(-3 - 0) = 1/-3 = -1/3.
