Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: y= -3x + 4
Explanation: As the general equation of line is y= mx + c where m is the slope of the line and c is the y intercept.
=> for m we need to find the slope of line which is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1
=> 7-1/ -1-1 = 6/-2 = -3
and as we can in the diagram the y intercept is 4
that means our equation for the given line is y = -3x + 4.
They're not equivalent.
(vertical bars) represents the absolute value of x. How it works is that it turns negative numbers positive but leaves 0 and positive numbers alone (hence it gets a number's distance from 0 on the number line).
(square brackets) usually represents the floor function, which returns the largest integer that is less than or equal to x. (The floor of x can also be written as
--- it depends on what your textbook/source says).
To solve
, you first transform it into the equivalent equation
. Then by definition of absolute value, there are only two solutions for the first equation: x = 10 or x = -10.
[x] = 10 has infinitely many solutions. For example, the floor of 10 is 10, so
, thus a solution for the second equation is x = 10
The floor of 10.1 is 10, so
, thus another solution for the second equation is x = 10.1.
The two equations do not have the same solution set (as x = 10.1 does not solve |x| - 3 = 7 but solves [x] = 10), so they're not equivalent.
