Step-by-step explanation:

Its Undefined.

Reason

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

= 3-(-6)/(12-12)

=9/0

Undefined

You can clearly see this from the points. The x value has 2 different values for y... Which Makes the points not that of a function.

Find the slope-intercept form of the line whose slope is 5 and that passes through the point left (-2,8)

Doss [256]

$\text{The slope-intercept form:}\ y=mx+b\\\\\text{m-a slope; b-a y-intercept}$

$\text{We have:}\\m=5\\\text{therefore}\ y=5x+b$

$\text{We know, the line passes through the point}\ (-2;\ 8)\to x=-2;\ y=8\\\\\text{substitute the values of x and y to the equation of the line:}\\\\8=5(-2)+b\\\\8=-10+b\ \ \ |+10\\\\b=18$

$\text{Your answer:}\ y=5x+18$

A drone is monitoring the atmospheric conditions above a farm field.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

$y=5 \ \ \ x x_o + 1.9s$

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation can be considered as a piecewise function. First, you take xo as the time in which the drone goes upward. Before this time the height of the drone is constant with a value of 5 m. Next, you take into account that during 1.9 s after xo the drone accelerates. Finally, the drone flies again with a constant height of 5.9m. Hence, this function has three parts:

For the first part you have:

y = 5 for x < xo

For the second part you first calculate vertical speed (which means the slope of the linear function) by using the following kinematic equation:

$y=vx\\\\v=\frac{y-y_o}{x}=\frac{5.9m-5.0m}{1.9s}=0.47m/s$
