Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yintercept
slope=-3/4
yintercept=3/2
y=-3/4x+3/2
it could also be written
3x+4y=6
Find what each banana costs by dividing the $15 dollars between the 10 bananas 15/10=$1.5 then times by 3 to get how much 3 bananas cost $1.5*3= $4.50
Division is the opposite from multiplication
Find where the equation is undefined ( when the denominator is equal to 0.
Since they say x = 5, replace x in the equation see which ones equal o:
5-5 = 0
So we know the denominator has to be (x-5), this now narrows it down to the first two answers.
To find the horizontal asymptote, we need to look at an equation for a rational function: R(x) = ax^n / bx^m, where n is the degree of the numerator and m is the degree of the denominator.
In the equations given neither the numerator or denominators have an exponent ( neither are raised to a power)
so the degrees would be equal.
Since they are equal the horizontal asymptote is the y-intercept, which is given as -2.
This makes the first choice the correct answer.
