Answer:

equation: y=-2x+2

a=-3

b=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to find the equation of the line containing the point (3,-4) and has the slope (m) of -2

slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

we can plug what we know into the equation:

y=-2x+b

we need to find b though

since the point will pass through the point (3,-4) we can subsitute it into the equation to find b

-4=-2(3)+b

-4=-6+b

2=b

the y intercept is 2

so the equation is y=-2x+2

the line also contains the points (a,8) and (5,b)

first, let's find a

a is the x value of the point

we know the value of y (8)

substitute y as 8 and solve for x

8=-2x+2

subtract

6=-2x

-3=x=a

so a is -3

now find b

b is the y value of the point

we know the x value (5)

substitute x as 5 and solve for y

y=-2(5)+2

y=-10+2

y=-8=b

so b is -8

hope this helps!

The function f(x) is a quadratic function and a limited table of values is provided below. Write the equation of the quadratic p
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

  f(x) = 3x^2 -21x +36

Step-by-step explanation:

The table gives the x- and y-intercepts, which are sufficient to write the equation in factored form. The x-intercepts of 3 and 4 tell you that factors are (x -3)(x -4). When x=0, this product is (-3)(-4) = 12, but the y-intercept value is 3 times that: 36. So, the factored equation is ...

  f(x) = 3(x -3)(x -4)

Multiplying this out, we get ...

  f(x) = 3(x^2 -7x +12)

  f(x) = 3x^2 -21x +36

A loan of $900 will be repaid in 36 installment payments of $30.22 each. What the finance charge for the loan?
zimovet [89]
First you need to multiply 36 *$30.22=$1087.92
This gives you the total amount paid

Then subtract 1087.92-900=187.92
This gives you the amount of money you paid in finance charges.
