\text{Substitute the values of x and y to the equation}\\\\x=-2,\ y=6,\ 3ax+2by=6\\\\3a(-2)+2b(6)=6\\\\-6a+12b=6\qquad|\text{add 6a to both sides}\\\\12b=6a+6\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 12}\\\\b=\dfrac{6a}{12}+\dfrac{6}{12}\\\\\boxed{b=\dfrac{1}{2}a+\dfrac{1}{2}}

How do you do this problem?
aev [14]

f(x) = (x - 4)^2 - 1

g(x) = -(1/4) ( x - 4)^2 + 4

both the x and y values have to be the same. Start with the y values

f(x) = g(x)

(x - 4)^2 - 1 = -(1/4) (x - 4)^2 + 4 Add 1 to both sides.

(x - 4)^2 = -(1/4) (x - 4)^2 + 5 Add 1/4(x - 4)^2 to both sides.

(5/4) (x - 4)^2 = 5 Divide by 5/4 on both sides.

(x - 4)^2 = 5//(5/4)

(x - 4)^2 = (5/1)//5/4 Invert the second fraction and multiply

(x - 4)^2 = 5/1 * 4/5

(x - 4)^2 = 4 The 5s cancel

(x - 4)^2 = 4 Take the square root of both sides.

(x - 4) = +/- 2 Add 4 to each answer. Start with +2 on the right.

x - 4 + 4 = 2 + 4

x = 4 + 2 = 6

The x value that makes f(x)- g(x) = 0 is x = 6 The point is (6,3) answer.

Answer C.

================================================

You do not need this next part. It is just for completeness.

x - 4 = - 2

x = 4 -2

x = 2

What are the y values for these 2 x values?

y = (x - 4)^2 - 1

y = (6 - 4)^2 - 1

y = 4 - 1

y = 3

The point where f(x) - g(x) = 0 is (6,3) <<<<<< Answer 1

The second point is

y = (x - 4)^2 - 1

y = (2 - 4)^2 - 1

y = (-2)^2 - 1

y = 4 - 1

y = 3

The second point is (2,3). Answer 2

Note the y values are the same. You might expect that.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 6) and (5, 3).
Temka [501]
(3,6)    (5,3)
(x1,y1)(x2,y2)

The slope equation is: y2-y1
                                 ---------
                                  x2-x1

Replace with numbers: 3-6/5-3

Minus 3 and 6 is equal to -3

Minus 5-3 is 2 

So the fraction is -3/2 (no need to divide because you can't simplify it)

So the slope is -3/2

For the equation you have to replace the letters by 0's 

3×0-2y=6
Times 3 and 0
0-2y=6
Now you want to get the y alone, so minus 0 from both sides 
   0-2y=6
  -0      -0

-2y=6

Divide -2y from the 6

-2y=6
----  ---
  -2   -2

y=3 

The y intercept is 3 with the slope of -3/2

The equation of a line is y=3x+7. Change the equation so that it is proportional.
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

y=3x

Step-by-step explanation:

For a line to be proportional it must have the form y=mx where the y-intercept is (0,0) through the origin. To change y=3x+7 to be proportional, write it as y=3x.
