<h3>Answer:  -1/4  (choice C)</h3>

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

Explanation:

Start at the point (0,1). This is the y intercept, which is where the graph crosses the y axis.

Then move down 1 and over to the right 4 spaces. We arrive at (4,0) which is the x intercept.

The process of "down 1, over to the right 4" can be thought of like this

rise/run = -1/4

rise = -1

run = 4

A rise of -1 indicates we go down 1 unit

The run of 4 means we move to the right 4 units

So that's why slope = rise/run = -1/4

-------------------------------------------------------

Here's another approach using the slope formula:

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (0-1)/(4-0)

m = -1/4

I used the two points (0,1) and (4,0) as (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) respectively. This formula basically says "subtract the y coordinates, subtract the x coordinates in the same order, then divide the differences y over x".

-------------------------------------------------------

Side note: The line moving downhill, as we read from left to right, indicates a negative slope.

What is the range of the function for the given domain? y = 2x − 5 D: {-2, 0, 2, 4}
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Range of Function :  { - 9, - 5, - 1,  4 }

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that y = 2x - 5 provided the domain ( x - values ) { - 2, 0, 2, 4 }. Let us substitute each element in this set of domain as x in the equation "y = 2x - 5" as to solve for the y - values, otherwise known as the range of the function.

{ - 2, 0, 2, 4 }

y = 2( - 2 ) - 5 = - 9,

y = 2( 0 ) - 5 = - 5,

y = 2( 2 ) - 5 = - 1,

y = 2( 4 ) - 5 = 4

We have the set of y - values as { - 9, - 5, - 1, 4 }. This is the range of our function.
