Answer:

y=-5x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>What we need to know:</u>

  • Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)

<u>1) Determine the slope (m)</u>

<u />m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where two points that the line passes through are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug in the given points (1,-3) and (-3,17)

=\frac{17-(-3)}{-3-1}\\=\frac{17+3}{-3-1}\\=\frac{20}{-4}\\=-5

Therefore the slope of the line is -5. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=-5x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (b)</u>

y=-5x+b

Plug in one of the given points and solve for b

-3=-5(1)+b\\-3=-5+b

Add 5 to both sides of the equation to isolate b

-3+5=-5+b+5\\2=b

Therefore, the y-intercept of the equation is 2. Plug this back into y=-5x+b:

y=-5x+2

I hope this helps!

Angle F is equal to angle G so 5x + 18 = 7x-12 so you would solve for x which would equal 15

TRUE OR FALSE: FOR ANY FUNCTION, X=F^-1(Y), THEN Y=F(X). PLEASE EXPLAIN
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example let f(x) = 3x + 1  then f-1(x)  is found as follows

Let f(x) = y = 3x + 1 then

3x = y - 1

x = (y-1) / 3

x = f-1(x) = (x - 1)/3.

So:

Replacing the x  in y by (x - 1)/3 :-

x = f(-1)(y) = ( (3x + 1) - 1) / 3

= 3x / 3

= x.

So y = f(x).
