Answer:

y = $\frac{5}{3}x-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the line is,

y = mx + b

Here m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Slope of a line passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is,

m = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the graph attached,

Since, the given line passes through (0, -1) and (3, 4),

Slope 'm' = $\frac{4+1}{3-0}$

m = $\frac{5}{3}$

y - intercept 'b' = -1

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

y = $\frac{5}{3}x-1$

Find x and y. Please help this is on a test!!!

To find the x-intercepts algebraically, we let y = 0 y=0 y=0 in the equation and then solve for values of x. In the same manner, to find for y-intercepts algebraically, we let x = 0 x=0 x=0 in the equation and then solve for y.

What is the maximum number of relative extrema contained in the graph of this function f(x)=3x^3-x^2+4x-2

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The maximum number of turning points in a cubic function is 2.

In this case,

$f(x)=3x^3-x^2+4x-2\implies f'(x)=9x^2-2x+4$

The discriminant is $(-2)^2-4(9)(4)=-140$ , which means the derivative has no real roots. This means there are no critical points and thus no turning points/relative extrema.
