Answer:

3/140 or 0.0214

Step-by-step explanation:

[f(2) - f(6)] / 2-6

f(2) = -3/2

f(6) = 35/2

-3/2 ÷ 35/2 = -3/2 × 2/35

= -6/70 or -3/35 (simplified)

-3/35 ÷ -4 = -3/35 × -1/4

= 3/140

Show that the equation Y -2= 4(3x+5) is a liner and then tell if it represents a proportional or nonproportional relationship be

Grace [21]

Answer:

y=12x+22 is linear but not proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

$y-2=4(3x+5)$

This is a linear equation because it has an x and y within the expression without exponents or other complex operators. We can rearrange and simplify the equation into slope-intercept form.

$y-2=4(3x+5)\\y-2=12x+20\\y-2+2=12x+20+2\\y=12x+22$

This linear equation follows the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. For this function, m=12 and b=22. This is not a proportional relationship because the function's y-intercept is something other than 0.

Factor the polynomial completely x^2-x-20

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

(x − 5) (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² − x − 20

Factor using AC method:

1 × -20 = -20

Factors of -20 that add up to -1: -5 and 4

Divide by 1 and reduce: -5/1 and 4/1
