Answer:

2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming you are talking about a linear function. If it is, then the equation would be:

2x + 5.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

y = 2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For this example, I used the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

In order to find the equation, we must find the slope and y-intercept.

<h3>Finding m</h3>

The slope can be found with the formula:

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}, where the x and y variables represent different x and y values from the given points.

Substituting in values from the points, we get:

m = \frac{-1 + 9}{-3 + 7}\\\\m = \frac{8}{4}\\\\m = 2

<h3>Finding b</h3>

In order to find the y-intercept, we must substitute the slope back into the original equation:

y = 2x + b

After this, we must also substitute either of the two points. Both will give the correct answer, but (-3, -1) will be used for this example.

-1 = 2(-3) + b\\-1 = -6 + b\\5 = b

<h3>Finding the equation</h3>

After this, all that must be done is to substitute the values for b and m back into the original equation.

y = 2x + 5

To check our work, we can substitute in either of the given points. For demonstration purposes, (-7, -9) will be used.

(-9) = 2(-7) + 5\\-9 = -14 + 5\\-9 = -9

You found the prime factorization of the number 73 explain how you can check your answer
antoniya [11.8K]

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

You can check your answer by making sure that each of the primes you found is actually a prime. (Compare to a list of known primes, for example.) After you have determined your factors are primes, multiply them together to see if the result is 73. If so, you have found the correct prime factorization.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

73 is prime, so its prime factor is 73.

  73 = 73
