Answer:

The relation is a linear function with the equation: y = -6/5x + 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

                                            Question 5)

The given graph is a straight line.

We know that the graph of a linear function is a straight line that can be written in the form

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

The slope of the line can be determined by taking two points

(3, -3)

(-2, 3)

Finding the slope

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(3,\:-3\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-2,\:3\right)

m=\frac{3-\left(-3\right)}{-2-3}

m=-\frac{6}{5}

From the graph, the y-intercept can be obtained by setting x=0 and check the corresponding y-value of y.

or substituting m = -6/5 and (3, -3) in the slope-intercept form to determine y-intercept 'b'.

y = mx+b

-3\:=-\frac{6}{5}\left(3\right)\:+\:b

-\frac{18}{5}+b=-3

b=\frac{3}{5}

now substituting m = -6/5 and b = 3/5 in the slope-intercept form to determine the equation of the linear function

y=mx+b

y = -6/5x + 3/5

Therefore, the relation is a linear function with the equation: y = -6/5x + 3/5

If Q is the midpoint of PR, and PQ = 2x + 3 and QR = 3x– 2, find x, PQ, QR, and PR.
leva [86]
Since they tell us that Q is the midpoint you now understand that the line is split evenly.
PQ=QR
 2x+3=3x-2
 2x+5=3x
 x=5.

henley needs to calculate the base of a trapezoid, b, given the area, a, in inches. She need to rearrange the formula a=16(b+4).
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

b = (a/16) - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 16(b + 4)

a = 16b + 64

16b + 64 = a

16b = a - 64

16b/16 = (a/16) - 64/16

b = (a/16) - 4

Given tan θ = 2 and sin θ < 0. Find cos(θ +pi/4)
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

√10 / 10

Step-by-step explanation:

tan θ > 0 and sin θ < 0, so θ is in quadrant III.  That means cos θ < 0.

cos(θ + π/4)

Use angle sum formula.

cos θ cos(π/4) − sin θ sin(π/4)

½√2 cos θ − ½√2 sin θ

Factor.

½√2 cos θ (1 − tan θ)

½√2 cos θ (1 − 2)

-½√2 cos θ

Write in terms of secant.

-½√2 / sec θ

Use Pythagorean identity (remember that cos θ < 0).

-½√2 / -√(1 + tan²θ)

-½√2 / -√(1 + 2²)

½√2 / √5

√10 / 10
