Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the graph is how much the line is changing. In this case, every time your x increases by one, your y decreases by -5. This is the case no matter what value the -2 is.

the general equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, or the value of y when x is 0.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The secant- tangent angle MLK is half the difference of the intercepted arcs, that is

$\frac{1}{2}$ (KN - KM) = 70° ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

KN - KM = 140°

KN - 61° = 140° ( add 61° to both sides )

KN = 201° → C

ALGEBRA 2!!!!!!!!! SHOW YOUR WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do f(g(x)) and g(f(x))

bezimeni [28]

$\bf f(x)=\cfrac{2x-3}{x+1}~\hspace{10em}g(x)=\cfrac{x+3}{2-x}
\\\\[-0.35em]
\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\
f(~~g(x)~~)\implies \cfrac{2[g(x)]-3}{[g(x)]+1}\implies \cfrac{2\left( \frac{x+3}{2-x} \right)-3}{\left( \frac{x+3}{2-x} \right)+1}\implies
\cfrac{\frac{2x+6}{2-x}-3}{\frac{x+3}{2-x}+1}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\frac{2x+6-6+3x}{2-x}}{\frac{x+3+2-x}{2-x}}\implies \cfrac{2x+6-6+3x}{2-x}\cdot \cfrac{2-x}{x+3+2-x}\implies \cfrac{5x}{5}\implies x$

$\bf \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\
g(~~f(x)~~)\implies \cfrac{[f(x)]+3}{2-[f(x)]}\implies \cfrac{\frac{2x-3}{x+1}+3}{2-\frac{2x-3}{x+1}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{2x-3+3x+3}{x+1}}{\frac{2x+2-(2x-3)}{x+1}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2x-3+3x+3}{x+1}\cdot \cfrac{x+1}{2x+2-(2x-3)}\implies \cfrac{2x-3+3x+3}{x+1}\cdot \cfrac{x+1}{2x+2-2x+3}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{5x}{5}\implies x$
