Answer:
m = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find two clear points:
(1, -2) (0, 1)
Then, use the slope formula:
m = <u>y2 - y1</u>
x2 - x1
m = <u>1 - (-2)</u>
0 - 1
= <u>3</u> = -3
-1
m = -3
This means that the rise-over-run is -3 over 1, or 3 over -1.
Which means three down and 1 to the right, or 3 up and 1 to the left.
Slope is the steepness of the line.
Because you have two variables and only one equation, you can only solve for approximate answers, and not complete, absolute answers.
<h3><u>You can simplify this equation to x = -4y + 12</u></h3>
y - 3 = -1/4(x + 3)
Distributive property.
y - 3 = -1/4x - 3/4
Multiply all terms by 4.
4y - 12 = -x
Multiply all terms by -1
-4y + 12 = x

Answer: 
</h3>
The -3 is not in the exponent
Explanation:
The parent function is 
. Plugging in x = 0 leads to y = 1. So the point (0,1) is on the f(x) curve. Going from (0,1) to (0,-2) is a vertical shift of 3 units downward. To represent this shift, we tack on a "-3" at the end of the f(x) function.
You could look at other points as well, but I find working with x = 0 is easiest.
As a check, plugging x = 0 into g(x) leads to...
This confirms our answer.
You peace in the 6 the same time
