Answer:
The slope is: m = -²/₅
The y-intercept is: b = -2
The equation of the line: y = -²/₅x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope intercept form: y = mx + b
The slope: 
(-5, 0) ⇒ x₁ = -5, y₁ = 0
(0, -2) ⇒ x₂ = 0, y₂ = -2
So:
Answers:
- y intercept: 9
- zeros: -3, -1, 1, 3
===============================================
Explanation:
The y intercept is where the curve crosses the y axis. The curve appears to do so just below y = 10, so y = 9 seems like a good estimate. I'm basing this off of the answer choices given. The y intercept always occurs when x = 0.
The zeros, aka roots or x intercepts, are where the curve crosses or touches the x axis. This occurs in four locations: x = -3, x = -1, x = 1 and x = 3. The x intercepts always occur when y = 0.
Answer:
T(m) = (140 - 5m)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Initial temperature, a = 140 F
Rate of decrease = 5 F per minute
Given a certain Number of minutes, m
Temperature, T after m minutes ;
Using the formula :
Final temperature = Initial temperature - 5*number of minutes)
T(m) = (140 - 5m)
Given that ; m = 10
T(10) = 140 - 5(10)
T(10) = 140 - 50
T(10) = 90 F
It is neither.
To be even, f(x) must equal f(-x).
If you substitute -x for x, you'd get
y = (-x)^2 - 2(-x) -8
y = x^2 +2x -8
This is not the same as the original, so this is not even.
To be odd, f(x) must equal -f(-x).
If you take the -x substitution from the last step and then multiply it by -1, you'd have:
y = -1 (x^2 +2x -8)
y = -x^2 -2x +8
This is not the same as the original either.
The function is neither even nor odd.
