Answer:

The values of a , b , c are ⇒ a = 1 , b = 10 , c = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets describe the meaning of the linear function

- Linear function is represented by a line graphically

- The equation of the line is y = mx + c, where m is the slope

  of the line and c is the y-intercept (the point of intersection

  between the line and the y-axis is (0 , c))

- m = change of y/change of x

- We can find m from any two points on the line

* Lets use m to find a, b and c

- Use the points (3 , 8) and (5 , 9) to find m

∵ m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

∴ m = (9 - 8)/(5 - 3) = 1/2

- Find a by using points (a , 7) and (3 , 8) ⇒ (or (5 , 9))

∵ m = (8 - 7)/(3 - a) = 1/2

∴ 1/(3 - a) = 1/2  ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ 3 - a = 2 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ -a = -1 ⇒ × -1 both sides

∴ a = 1

- Find b by using points (5 , 9) and (7 , b) ⇒ (or (3 , 8))

∵ m = (b - 9)/(7 - 5) = (b - 9)/2

∴ (b - 9)/2 = 1/2  ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ 2(b - 9) = 2 ⇒ open the bracket

∴ 2b - 18 = 2 ⇒ add 18 to both sides

∴ 2b = 20 ⇒ ÷ 2

∴ b = 10

- Find b by using points (5 , 9) and (c , 11) ⇒ (or (3 , 8))

∵ m = (11 - 9)/(c - 5) = 2/(c - 5)

∴ 2/(c - 5) = 1/2  ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ c - 5 = 4 ⇒ add 5 to both sides

∴ c = 9

* The values of a , b , c are ⇒ a = 1 , b = 10 , c = 9

Answer:

D) x-int (-3,0), y-int (0,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis

y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis

From inspection of the graph,

x-intercept = (-3, 0)

y-intercept = (0, 2)

6. During an emergency exercise, a submarine dives 37 ft, rises 16 ft, and
Masteriza [31]

During an emergency exercise, a submarine dives 37 ft, rises 16 ft, and

then dives 18 ft. The net change in the submarine's position = - 37 + 16 - 18

Net change is the difference between a security's closing price for a given trading period and its closing price for the current trading session. The term "net change" for stock prices often refers to a daily time frame, therefore the net change for the specific day in question might be either positive or negative.

Therefore, the net change = -39 ft.

What is a net change?

  • Net change is the difference between the quantity of a variable at the end state and the starting state.
  • For example, start with some number. Add 10 to it, subtract 5 from it, again add 7, then subtract 16.
  • The net change will be 10 + 5 + 7 - 16 = 6
  • Whatever number you have started with, the result is 6 more.
