Given:

The table of values is:

x :     -7          -5         -3           -1

y :      5           9         13          17

To find:

Whether the given data is linear and then find the equation.

Solution:

The given data is linear if the slope and rate of change is constant.

Slope formula:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Using the slope formula. we get

\dfrac{9-5}{-5-(-7)}=2

\dfrac{13-9}{-3-(-5)}=2

\dfrac{17-13}{-1-(-3)}=2

Since the rate of change is constant, i.e., 2, therefore the given data is linear.

The slope of a linear equation is 2 and it passes through the point (-7,5). So, the equation of the line is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y-5=2(x-(-7))

y-5=2(x+7)

y-5=2x+14

Adding 5 on both sides, we get

y-5+5=2x+14+5

y=2x+19

Therefore, the equation for the given data is y=2x+19.

If f(x) = 16x-30 and g(x) = 14(x)-6 for which value of x does (f-g) (x) = 0
almond37 [142]
This is a system where (f-g)(x) is wanted.
(16x-30)-(14x-6) .... 2x-24 *be careful with signs and parenthesis placement.

Now set 2x-24 = 0 and so x = 12

The ratio of Michael and Neil’s ages is 7:6. If Neil is really 42 years old, how old is Michael?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

49 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

By proportion 7/6 = M/42   where M is Michael's age.

6M = 7 * 42

M = (7*42) / 6

M = 7 *7

= 49.

If a/b = c/d, then ad = bc.
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The statement is true

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the proportion

\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}

we know that

To solve the proportion multiply in cross

so

(a)(d)=(b)(c)

ad=bc

therefore

The statement is true
