#1 is x < 5 and #2 is x > 5
For this case we have by definition, that the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis
We need two points through which the line passes to find the slope:

We found the slope:

So, the equation is of the form:

We substitute a point to find "b":

Finally, the equation is:

Answer:
Option D
The answer is 29 flies.
x is the number of weeks. We have 2 weeks, so x = 3
1. Calculate the population of flies after 3 weeks: p(3) = ?
2. Calculate how much flies are eaten by the spider after 3 weeks: s(3) = ?
3. Subtract the number of flies after 3 weeks and eaten flies after three weeks: p(3) - s(3) = ?
1. p(x) = 5 · 2ˣ
p(3) = 5 · 2³ = 5 · 8 = 40
2. s(x) = 3x + 2
s(3) = 3 · 3 + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11
3. p(3) - s(3) = 40 - 11 = 29
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse of this function, you need to replace the location of the x and the y.
You start with
. Now, replace the x and the y, and try to isolate the y.

Hope this helps!
