Answer:

Slope: -1/4; Y-Intercept: 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the slope. The best way to do this is to transform the two given points to y=mx+b form. When given two points, the best way to find the slope will be to do y2-y1/x2-x1. In this equation it would be -2-0/2+6, which is -2/8, simplified is -0.25 or -1/4. So we have the slope, which can determine the length of the line.

Step 2: Find the Y-Intercept. Finding the Y-intercept is so much simpler when given a graph, since all you have to do is find where the line goes through the y-axis, which in this case is (0,1.5), meaning that the y-intercept is 1.5 (note: the y-intercept can also be found when x=0, for example (0,9).

Hope this helped, good luck!

Answer:

H or C

Step-by-step explanation:

Its negative because we read left to right and the line is going downward which makes it negative. The Y intercept is just X what equals Y.

What is x if f ( x) = 23?

musickatia [10]

In the expression f(x)=23, x is not a variable. f(x) means “a function of x” or “f of x” and is in practice another way of substituting for the variable y, that is, we are saying:

y=23.

That means x is unspecified and could be anything. So on the xy plane, this is a straight horizontal line, 23 units above the x axis. That would be the best way to interpret this, although it is a little ambiguous.

Usually functions of x are expressed in terms of x, such as:

f(x) = x^2
