Answer: No this is not a linear function as the y values have different first differences.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we look at the x values. We start off and look at the second x value and subtract the first x value from it (That would be 1-0) and that equals to 1. Then we look at the third x value and subtract the second x value from it (2-1) and that equals to 1. Then we look at the fourth x value and subtract the third x value from it (That would be 3-2) and that is 1. Next we look at the fifth x value and subtract the fourth x value from it (That would be 4-3) and that is 1.
Now we look at the y values and do the same thing as with the x values. We start off and look at the second y value and subtract the first y value from it (That would be 1-0) and that equals to 1. Then we look at the third y value and subtract the second y value from it (4-1) and that equals to 3. Then we look at the fourth y value and subtract the third y value from it (That would be 9-4) and that is 5. Next we look at the fifth y value and subtract the fourth y value from it (That would be 16-9) and that is 7.
Even though the x values all have the same first differences, the y values do not and so this cannot be a linear function.
I hope this helps. Tell me if something doesn't make sense.
You can find the slope either by just looking at the line or using the slope formula.
#1: The slope formula is:
Find two points and plug it into the formula
I will use (0, 2) and (1, -1)
(0, 2) = (x₁, y₁)
(1, -1) = (x₂, y₂)
[two negatives cancel each other out and become positive]
m = -3
#2: To find the slope without having to do the work, you use this:
Rise is the number of units you go up(+) or down(-) from each point
Run is the number of units you go to the right from each point
If we start at a defined/obvious point, like (0, 2), find the next point and see how many units it goes up or down and to the right. The next point is (1, -1), so from each point, you go down 3 units and to the right 1 unit. So your slope is -3/1 or -3. You can make sure the slope is right by looking at another point.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
5 - x = 7 - 2x
-x + 2x = 7 - 5
x = 2
Answer:
B. 21.64
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given a triangle and we are asked to find the length of AC (b).
We will use law of cosines to find the length of side AC.
Upon substituting our given values in the formula we will get,
Upon taking square root of both sides of our equation we will be get,
Therefore, the length of b is 21.64 and option B is the correct choice.
