Answer: $y=\frac{5}{6}x+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line with the given points, we want to first find the slope then the y-intercept. We use the formula $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ .

$m=\frac{8-(-2)}{6-(-6)} =\frac{10}{12}=\frac{5}{6}$

Now that we know the slope, we can use one of the points to find the y-intercept.

$8=\frac{5}{6}(6)+b$ [multiply]

$8=5+b$ [subtract both sides by 5]

$b=3$

Now, we know the equation is $y=\frac{5}{6}x+3$ .

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST <br> what type of transformation is described by (x,y) —> (x+2, y+16)?

frosja888 [35]

This transformation takes a vector (x,y) and maps it to the vector (x+2, y+16). In other words, it moves the X coordinate of the vector 2 units to the right, and the Y coordinate of the vector is moved 16 units upwards.

If you would take a set of points and apply this transformation, you would see the entire set moving upwards and to the right, with no stretching ou rotating. This type of transformation is called a translation transformation.

Helpp plz: use inverse operations to write the inverse of f(x)= x/2 - 1

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

f-1 (x) = 2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x/2 -1

y = x/2 -1

interchanging the position of x and y

x= (y-2)/2

2x =y - 2
