Answer:

  (i) k = 1

  (ii) 4/7

  (iii) arctan(4/7) ≈ 29.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) A graph of the given points is helpful. It shows us the slope of AB is ...

  mAB = rise/run = 2/1 = 2

so the slope of BC must be the opposite reciprocal, -1/2.

Point C is 6-2 = 4 units to the right of point B, so will be (-1/2)(4) = -2 units from point B in the vertical direction. That is, ...

  k = 3 -2

  k = 1

__

(ii) The gradient of AC is found from the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (1 -(-3))/(6 -(-1))

  mAC = 4/7

__

(iii) The angle that line AC makes with the +x axis is the arctangent of the slope:

  arctan(4/7) ≈ 29.7° . . . angle between AC and +x axis

Answer:

As "x" increases "y" *decreases*

y as a function of x is not *constant*

Therefore the function is *nonlinear*

For all values of x, the function value y *≥* 0.

The y intercept of the graph is *8*

x=1 function value of y is *5*

Which linear function represents the line given by the point-slope equation y + 7 = –2/3(x + 6)?a. f(x) = –2/3x – 11b. f(x) = –2
Pavel [41]

Answer:

option C

y=\frac{-2}{3}x-11

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope equation of a line is given by

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point on the point

y + 7 =\frac{-2}{3}(x + 6)

We need to write the equation in y=mx+b form

multiply -2/3 inside the parenthesis

y + 7 =\frac{-2}{3}x-4

Subtract 7 from both sides

y=\frac{-2}{3}x-11
