Answer:

$y = 2x + 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope.

$\frac{ 5 + 1}{1 + 2 } = 2$

so m is 2

$y = 2x + c$

Plug one the equations in to find c.

$- 1 = 2( - 2) + c$

$- 1 = - 4 + c$

$3 = c$

so the equation is

$y = 2x + 3$

What is the value of x in the following equation? 4(x-1) = 2(x +1)

Alla [95]

Start by multiplying to get rid of parentheses. Then use addition/subtraction to isolate x on one side of the equation. Finally, use division to determine the value of x.

If (-1, y) lies on the graph of y=2^2x then y=

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

y is 1/4 when x is -1 if I did interpret your equation right. Please see that I did.

I believe the equation to be $y=2^{2x}$ . If you meant $y=2^2x$ , please let me know.

Thanks kindly.

Step-by-step explanation:

If (-1,y) lies on the graph of $y=2^{2x}$ , then by substitution we have:

$y=2^{2\cdot -1}$ .

We just need to simplify to determine y:

$y=2^{2 \cdot -1}$

Multiply the 2 and -1:

$y=2^{-2}$

Use reciprocal rule for exponents to get rid of the negative:

$y=\frac{1}{2^2}$

$2^2$ just means $2(2)$ :

$y=\frac{1}{2(2)}$

$y=\frac{1}{4}$ .

Suppose f(x)=x^2 what is the graph of g(x)=f(2x)

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Since g(x) = f(2x), this means we substitute 2x in place of x for f(x):

g(x) = f(2x) = (2x)² = 4x²

Graphing this, the parabola is not moved from the parent graph f(x) = x², but the graph is compressed horizontally by a factor of 4.Step-by-step explanation:
