Answer:

a) 0

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of the slope (m) for a line from two points is given as (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

we are given the points (3,-2) and (9,-2)

we can label the points:

x1=3

y1=-2

x2=9

y2=-2

now substitute into the equation:

m=(-2--2)/(9-3)

simplify

m=(-2+2)/6

m=0/6

m=0

the slope of the line is 0, which is option a

Hope this helps!

Answer:

1.function 1 has a greater rate of change than function 2

3. Function 1 has a greater y-intercept than function 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the table we can find the slope using

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

m = (29-5)/ (8-0)

= 24/8

= 3

The rate of change for the table is 3

The y intercept is (0,5)

Using the graph (0,-1) and (2,0)

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

m = (0--1)/ (2-0)

= (0+1)/2

= 1/2

The y intercept is (0,-1)

Since 3>1/2 , function 1 has a greater rate of change than function 2

Since 5>-1, function 1 has a greater y-intercept than function 2

Y=6-x In this case, what would be the slope and y-intercept? I'm having a hard time trying to get it to the y=mx+b format.

frutty [35]

Answer:

Slope = $\frac{-1}{1}$ or -1

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given (y = 6 - x) is the same as saying

y = -1x + 6

Since we have a negative x variable and a positive 6 and would also be graphed the same. The only difference is that the second equation I just mentioned resembles the y = mx + b expression more. In this case the slope would be

Slope = $\frac{-1}{1}$ or -1

While the y-intercept would be

y = 6 - x

y = 6 - 0

y = 6
