How do I find the y intercept in a fraction

Furkat [3]

ANSWER:

Both functions have the same slope

The linear equation does not have a y-intercept

The table and the grahp express an equivalent function

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

In order to compare, we must calculate the slope of the table, knowing that the equation in its slope and intercept form is the following:

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{where m is the slope and b is y-intercept} \end{gathered}$

The formula to calculate the slope is the following:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The points are (-6, -9/2) and (4,3), replacing:

$m=\frac{3-(-\frac{9}{2})}{4-(-6)}=\frac{3+\frac{9}{2}}{4+6}=\frac{\frac{15}{2}}{10}=\frac{15}{20}=\frac{3}{4}$

The slope is 3/4

Now, for b

x = 4

y = 3

m = 3/4

replacing:

$\begin{gathered} 3=\frac{3}{4}\cdot4+b \\ b=3-3 \\ b=0 \end{gathered}$

The equation is:

$y=\frac{3}{4}x$

Therefore, the true statements are:

• Both functions have the same slope

• The linear equation does not have a y-intercept

• The table and the grahp express an equivalent function

Describe the transformation done to y = 1/x to get y = 1/4x -12?

BabaBlast [244]

The transformation is done to y=1/x to get y=1/4x-12. We defined a turning point in the equation which will indicate the point in the graph.

We changed the form from y=x to y=x+c. In this case, we use 1/2 for the and constant C value which is -12.

The function h(x) = 12x8 + 49 is an even function. Which transformation of h(x) would result in a function that is neither even

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: translation 8 units to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

An even function is a function such that:

h(x) = h(-x)

and the function is odd if:

h(-x) = -h(x)

Now, let's talk about transformations:

A) Reflection over the x-axis:

When we have a point (x,y) and we do a reflection over the x-axis, the reflected point will be:

(x, -y).

Then for the case of a function:

y = h(x).

then the reflection will be:

g(x) = - y = -h(x).

And if h(x) is even, -h(x) is also even, so this is not the correct option.

B) Vertical stretch by a factor of 7.

This is written as:

g(x) = 7*h(x).

then:

g(x) = 7*h(x)

g(-x) = 7*h(-x) = 7*h(x) = g(x)

the transformation is even.

C) Translation of 8 units to the right.

We can write this as:

g(x) = h(x - 8).

Then:

g(-x) = h(-x -8) = h(x + 8)

Then g(-x) is not equal to g(x)

and also g(-x) ≠ -g(x)

So in this case the transformation is neither odd or even.

C) horizontal compression by a factor of One-half.

This transformation is written as:

g(x) = h( (1/2)*x)

And, similar as the case of the vertical compression, in this case the transformation is also even.
