Answer:

$\frac{2(x+3)}{x+7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2x^2-18}{x^2+4x-21}$ ← factorise numerator and denominator

2x² - 18 ( factor out 2 from each term )

= 2(x² - 9) ← difference of 2 squares

= 2(x - 3)(x + 3)

and

x² + 4x - 21 = (x + 7)(x - 3) , then

= $\frac{2(x-3)(x+3)}{(x+7)(x-3)}$ ← cancel common factor (x - 3) on numerator/ denominator

= $\frac{2(x+3)}{x+7}$

What is the linear function equation represented by the graph?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{3}x -4$

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a linear function, use y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the line on the graph crosses the y-axis. On the graph is crosses at (0,-4). So b=-4. To find the slope, subtract the difference between two points on the line which cross through a grid line intersection. (0,-4) is one point. (3,-3) is another.

$\frac{-3--4}{3-0}=\frac{-3+4}{3} =\frac{1}{3}$

Input 1/3 and b=-4 into y=mx+b.

$y=\frac{1}{3}x -4$
